You'll love the way both ERAs and SPFs look. I doubt you'll be able to find anyone that will give you a taste of 140+mph speeds, even as a passenger (and no one's going to let you take their Cobra out for that kind of highway run
). BTW, the "scare" factor in a Cobra is double for the passenger -- I don't know why, but it's twice as scary being the passenger, under the exact same conditions, than it is to be the driver. Maybe even three times. You might want to just grab a quick flight up to Bradley Int'l Airport and visit the ERA folks -- call first and arrange a date because they like to close down for a couple of weeks around Christmas. If you're really going to run sustained speeds in the 150+mph range you'll want the car set up exactly right, starting with speed rated tires at the very minimum. Of course you know that if you make a mistake at that speed, or if something fails catastrophically, you're a goner.
