The original cars and the majority of the replicas are all unstable; they're a short wheelbase car with too much horsepower.

You'll be able to get closer to the edge - and have far less time to recover - with a newer Cobra with stickier tires and bigger wheels.

When an original Cobra would start getting nervous, it would practically write you a letter and seal it with a kiss to let you know that it was coming close to getting squirrely. A replica - even with fast reflexes - can lose traction faster than the blink of an eye, and spin you off into a ditch (or a "bluff"). And - to quote Maxwell Smart - "When you wake up, you'll be dead."
Mr. Meat:

I guess with my 6th grade education I read your statement incorrectly. Please would someone explain what Mr. Meat said in his statement.
