DVD Review: The snake & The Stallion
Summary: 5 Stars
I am building a ford library on the Mustang and one day while talking with Gayle Brock Peter Brock's husband and designer of the orginal Shelby Daytona Coupe that won the GT class against Ferrari, Shelby's competitive rival. A spark was lite to expand the library to early racing development which started when Henry Ford the Second nicked named "the Deuce" tied to purchase Ferrari only for the deal to go sour. Only later on did I fine out that Eno Ferraris nicked named "El Commendatore" was actually planning a hoax to draw national attention from the Italian people who's pride in ferrari was a national treasure in Italy.
I started with books on the Shelby Daytona Coupe and moved up the ladder to the famous GT-40 project. Hears the kicker! no matter how much you read. nothing like being their at time when automotive racing history was made by Americans at Le Mans, Sebring, Daytona Beach, left a void were the all the pieces had to come together. Putting a visual perspective with the written word of historians like this documentary was a tremendous help.
The Snake and the Stallion ( previously titled the Cobra Ferrari wars) is a fascinating documentary that puts you were the action is and helped me put the puzzle of the writers word in these books about this subject matter together.
I highly recommend this documentary to any person as "my self" researching early Le Mans racing or a true to be Ford racing enthusiast. Sometimes seeing history filmed can mean more than just reading about it . Their are some very good interviews with people who were their at the time these events evolved. "This is a must have documentary" for the Ford racing enthusiast and Gt-40 and cobra owner.

Description of The Snake and the Stallion (A Cobra & Ferrari DVD)
Author: Spiritlevelfilm Binding: Slipcased/Boxed Published: 2008 Ten years in the making, this fast-paced, sixties-style, split screen epic with an amazing soundtrack tells the extraordinary story of how Carroll Shelby, together with a bunch of Southern Californian hot-rodders took on the might of Enzo Ferrari and his GTO in the mid 60s. Aside from original interviews from all the participants there's wonderful archive footage alongside some beautiful, newly filmed reconstructions with the original cars (Ferrari GTO, 250 SWB, Cobras and Daytona Coupe) on the track. A must for Cobra and Ferrari fans alike. "I spent a whole lot of time with Richard on this and he's really nailed it. Got all the right people, from Dan Gurney to Lee Iacocca. It's a wonderful, wonderful story and I've never seen anybody tell it better. I'm very proud to have been part of it." - Carroll ShelbyBestsellers in DVD
