    I feel compelled to comment, based on the recent posts about well respected companies either closing or on the verge of closing. I’m not looking to make this a political statement, although let’s...

    I'm not an Autocrosser but would agree that it's a great way to learn and experience the limits. It's like a dynamic skid pad with directional changes. A driver's school will teach a lot about...

    Tommy's idea of Auto-xing is your best bet, for first timers. I've raced for 40+years (SCCA) and taking your Cobra to a track day first is not the way to go. 1- Cobras are just way too fast for a...

    If there are SCCA Autocross events near you, do some of them. They will let you test and exceed the limits of both your car and yourself in a safe environment. After you've done that several times...

    All you need is enough power, after that it's chassis and tires. I can easily build a 3,000 horsepower motor for your Cobra, but you wouldn't be able you use it.

    Pete Munroe liked post by eschaider On thread : When Were Slabsides Invented
    I believe the descriptor "slabside" was not used as a derogatory term for the car but rather a descriptive modifier referencing the shape of various body locations on the sides of the car.

    Why are you choosing a 302 displacement and why is a 7500 rpm operating speed important to you?

    Not even close. Peter wouldn't let anything like that leave the shop, except for in the dumpster.
