Cars?....about 147 on the main drag in front of the Cecil Field Naval Air station in Jacksonville , FL in my then new 1994 Corvette.

Cobra?...I don't know yet...should be on the road in Feb.

GRUFF
Gruff, you are insane. Dont let me down when you come in later this month.. I'm holding my breath I don't wanna see you in some Cesna

Will be interesting to see what the 427 will do. I think I mentioned earlier in this thread, I did 160 in a 427 we built around MIS in the early 2000's. I'm sure that didn't have 3/4's of the motor your car will have in it.
