Cobra Make, Engine: Classic 427, I purchased it May 2005, the kit was bought in 1991. I'm not sure when it was completed! Installed GMPP Connect & Cruise 376/525 with T-56 S/M 3.55 gears about 2 years ago! 1/4 miles is with old setup!

The SR-71s are the ones I watched on the green TV screens , long range RADAR! I also once saw one do a photo pass from the ground. I grew up 20 miles from Cape Canaveral and watched a lot of missile shots as a kid! My best description of an SR-71 pass is a Ballistic Missile flying horizontal! I would guess 60-70K feet, maybe more and it still went horizon to horizon in no time!
