Its like freekin Laurel and Hardy around here. I am sure the OP was looking for witty repartee instead of advice from folks with relevant experience.

I cant take it! Pat, is your assessment from personal experience this time, or as usual, from your keen powers of observing others who actually know something? hahahahahaha Sorry, it was just too 'right' to pass-up |

Automatic's work the best at the drag strip! Way better then a 5-speed!

I took mine to the strip tonite and I wish I would have had an automatic!

That said, owning a Cobra has, I guess like many folks on this forum been a lifelong dream and only now that I am close to retiremnt can I really afford to buy one, thus I want the nastiest, meanest sounding Big Block I can get in a high end roller so I chose a SPF MK111 with a Roush 511 IRFE and a Bowler automatic transmission. The Bowler high performance transmission and the 511 engine has been tested extensively by Roush and Roush offers it as a preferred combo when somebody wants an automatic transmission. While I fully understand this is going to be a handful to drive I am performing what I consider is the appropriate due diligence in a) asking for advice from the members of this forum plus the folks in the Arizona Cobras, and b) will take Bondurant driving classes for high performance cars. After that it will be up to me to put into practice what I learned, hopefully without any incidents. BTW I chose the race roll bar as opposed to dual rollbars, dual roll bars are just not my cup of tea and it will be a cold day in hell before I would even think of wrapping the roll bar with foam and covering it with black tape. Sorry guys not bashing anyone, its just my choice and is decidedly my personal preference.:D Cheers, tin-man:cool: |
Tin-man,
You will have a blast no matter what color, transmission or roll bar**), now hurry up and get one of those 10 day leaves and go get this car! I sure want to see some pictures of this beast when you finally get it. Best of luck... Fred Quote:

Please do not take what I said as negative. It was an observation of what I read in your posts. Sorry if I offended you, as that was not my intent. |

No offence taken.

In China the expats call them Sphincter Police because they exist in every company and are generally a pain in the ssa. Jamo, no offense pal.:eek: Silverback51, really, your post was enlightening, whereas Patrickts post was disturbing, particularly when he said I could end up in a casket, Patrickt, that was a bit over the top pal, even if you believed it, but that said you were doing your best to give me advice and I do appreciate that. Bottom line guys, I am a newbie looking for advice so I can enjoy the car of my dreams and if I can get appropriate counselling from this forum so I don't inadvertantly kill myself, then I am very much appreciative of that advice. Even from Jamo, since when I re-read his comment he was correct in his admonition.. Cheers, tin-man |
