On a side note, I have always wondered if anyone ever attempted to install air jacks on a Cobra. The ones like on the F1, Indy and LeMans cars?... 
Now that would be nice on track day!  |
A friend of mine has a set of air jacks he's thinking of putting in either his Cortina (motorcycle engine, sequential gearbox, no reverse, carbon fibre hood and trunk lid, somewhere around 1200-1300 lbs wet) or his Lotus 7 clone (~300 HP motorcycle engine, sequential gearbox, no reverse, <1,000 lbs wet).
BTW, the 7 is completely insane and was recovered this summer after it was stolen 10 years ago along with the fully-enclosed trailer it was in at the time. The car was abused while the thieves had it, and the engine was no longer in it when found. Someone had removed the old engine (nitrous injected) with a sawzall, so there are certain parts of the car that have been butchered. His plans are to tear it down and do a complete re-build before putting it back on the road.
