I don't know the the manufacturer of Glassnake's Cobra, but it would be safe to say that the suspension, brake system, and tire technology have nothing to do with the "original" Cobra being hard to drive even for a "race car driver".

Second, I disagree that too much horsepower "leads to racing". I gurantee you that 100's of people that have stalked my Cobra on the street didn't want "a piece of me" as they heard the sound of the Big Block going through the gears with me driving normal. It is the "normal" supercharged Mustangs, Camaro's, rice burner's, etc... that are "evenly matched cars" that race for a extended period of time.

Third, it says in a article the sister provided that the Trans Am owner may have started trouble at the Diner and that the Trans Am driver left the diner "driving erratically". That leads to several different possable things that could have happened. In my book, you judge by what you know, not by what you guess. It is piss poor for this guys name to be ran through the mud because people on this forum say it proves their point. It is fine to lecture about street racing or too much power in a Cobra, however with this accident there is no "proof" that was the case. It is highly possable the Cobra owner didn't want to race and was leaving to go home and the Trans Am followed him. I don't know, and I don't think anyone on this forum knows for sure. Hell, I have even heard this proves green is a bad colour for a Cobra.
