Mick, Tony O'Connor (TOCA Automotive) at Slacks Creek has an RMC with a stroker Yates head 378 cube cleveland, Oliver billet rods, BG carb, Gonzo system. He only ran the car at one test and tune. 11.1 @126mph BACKWARDS. Sliding through the finish line with all tyres locked up and smoking and STILL running 126mph would have to make it one of the more impressive Cobras out there!

There's a 408 cube Harrison Cobra in Brisbane that also ran 126mph last time up at Willowbank. Traction problems meant a low 12 was his best time though.

A twin turbo quad cam Lexus V8 Cobra will run some big numbers if the owner goes ahead and fits some larger turbos. It's now painted a flip-flop colour with a new interior and I'm told it looks outstanding.

Mine will hopefully run some good numbers when it's finished. We might even turn the boost up when it's on the Superflow to see if we can get a 4 digit HP reading
