Well - speed isnt the problem, acceleration on tighter tracks is. On faster circuits the car flys, and not much can go faster, tho I have had a 100mph spin once, and that was pretty scary (and very smoky!).

I was surprised how stable my car was at high speed, after reading about Cobras in the older days, at that speed I was having to lane change around slower cars (travelling anywhere between 100 and 180mph).

Tyres on the car at present are 315/35/17 road tyres on aluminium 3 piece wheels, the tyres are at present too old and hard. I just purchased some slicks, which were absolutely magic, but burst a front one on the second lap. So I basically decided, replace burst slick, improve back suspension (my car uses a 9 inch ford diff made into IRS using Jaguar style rear end) and possibly add a wing - overkill? maybe, but I want to go out and kick some ass with the Cobra. The type of cars I am racing against range from Mustangs, Ferraris, Camaros, through to Porsche Factory Race cars with up to 900hp (and wings).
