It's the ultimate drag race - big-inch, 1960's American muscle against a European supercar. Dan Bilzerian, the owner of this seriously venomous 1965 427 Shelby Cobra, bet his friend Tom Goldstein $400 000 (no, Cyril, that's not a misprint - it's about R2.75 million!) that the "super snake" would eat Goldstein's brand new Ferrari 458 Italia over a standing quarter-mile. We pick up the action at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and, to find out who won, you'll have to watch the video.
