Back seat? Your Cobra must look different than mine, Cal Metal. Trunk (boot)? Room for a few tools, car cover and a couple of six packs of Anchor Steam. The more I think about it, the more I might try some radial Hoosiers this time around. I *really* hate the idea of 17" rims. Not to mention the extra $2K or so for some PSE rims. And the longest road trip I'm considering right now is to the Marina airport near Monterey (about 70 miles) to autocross with the Tiger club. When I'm in the shop tomorrow getting the beast aligned I'll get some more input. Hell, I drove around all the time on race tires, slicks included, back in my Singray days. I still remember hydroplaning on my 11" slicks...exiting! But this machine has no top; when I see too many clouds I head for the garage. No driving in the rain anymore. What a wimp I've become! Thanks for the referral to Grassroots Motorsports, Hal. I have requested a free copy of their publication and have written them to see if I can get any tire testing info from the [near] past. They also have some good info on fuel cells from ATL. My next project. Rich
