All this talk of putting power down to the ground has got me thinking…

Will Avons help mitigate wheel hop? My roller came with the ubiquitous BFG Radial T/As. Pulling off the line too far above idle generally leads to wheel hop. It's annoying and probably not too good for the driveline.

Looking forward to getting some Avons or BBs mounted this summer. Staying with 15”.

To me, the essence of a Cobra is not accelerating off the line, but sweeping through a gentle bend, and feeling the chassis talk to you in subtle movements as you transition through the apex and squeeze out the power.

Personally, I think I screwed up my last sports car by modifying the crap out of it until it stuck to the ground like a cart. Completely took the personality out the car...and it raised the bar out of reach in a street environment.
