OK, I'm a car nut so maybe fellow car guys have heard of this one. This myth goes like this, A guy has an original 427 Shelby Cobra, he has a $100.00 bill taped to his dash board. He tells passengers that they can have the money if they can grab it during full accelleration from 0-100. The occupant would need to have his hands by his side at the start...... The myth is that the g forces generated from the violent accelleration of the Cobra keeps the occupant from being able to reach out and grab the money.............Myth or Fact, I think they'd have a hell of alot of fun testing it.
