A quick query--how many guys posting that 400/500 hp is too much are running good tires (e.g., Avons, drag radials, Billboards)?
For whatever reason, a lot of guys settle for running junk tires (e.g., Radial T/A)--which can be downright dangerous in these cars.  |
It never ceases to amaze me the number of Cobra owners that will invest thousands in their car increase the HP, but won't invest in a good set of tires.
Mine had Goodyear GTII's on it when bought it. Not a bad tire, but they are garbage on a higher HP Cobra. As stated, you could break them lose at 60 MPH in 3rd gear. Generally the BB's or Avons will never do that.
