The person who coached me during my build has been driving big block Cobras since the 60's has a $100.00 bill on his pass visor and nobody has touched it while going through the gears.
One thing that always impressed me was his being so adamant about passing.

Passing anything in a big block Cobra,

"Always pull out then hit the throttle otherwise you could run into the back of whatever your passing"

Once our car was dailed in I experimented a little he was right till it became routine.The $100.00 bill thing is also true,provided the pass follows the rules hands in their laps and try to reach while rowing the gears only.
