Cobras are not very aerodynamic and it takes a lot of 'kahunas' to keep your foot planted when the front wheels get very light and the car wanders about the track..... I only reached about 210 by my speedo. Still was quite a blast.

That makes perfect sense.
It sounded like you could have gone faster, but at the end of the day you want the wheels to stay on the ground.
