Using an original Cobra as a baseline, it can go 0-100 in 10.4 seconds. So you, accelerating from 60 to 100, should take about 6 seconds. During that time, you've going from traveling 5,280 feet in a minute to traveling 8,800 feet in a minute. During those six seconds you're going to cover a pretty good distance. A child with a ball, a deer, a rabbit, or any number of things could jump out in front of your public exhibition of speed during your non-professional driver on open road stunt. You could hit a rock, take a nail, have a blow out or any other thing that doesn't occur on a racetrack.
That's cool.
A Cobra goes 0-100-0 in 15 seconds. That's on a closed course, with a driver who knows that he's going to be stopping from 0, so he's ready for it.
You aren't that good. The instant that you think you are, Mr. "Everyone Is Stalking Me," you're dead, and we get to start a thread up about you...I won't be one of the people who include the word "condolence" in my post.
