Your boy Bltz
Ladies and Gentlemen, here he is in the Cobra -- roughly 2/3 of the way through, he gets it up to around 30 miles an hour and complains that it gets loose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvdXz8suWSA.
And here, he blows up an RV with an anti-aircraft rifle. Standard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJJqpKHyqik. And here, he shoots a friend. Usual day at the office: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Z-ap21xSo. |

Yes Dan purchased car without full knowledge - and he is some what a no fear guy, when he left my house I led him on the freeway - he passed me about 120mph on non warmed up Goodyear Billboards with one hand on the wheel and one hand thumbs up. All I can say is the engine is a Shelby 427 Side Oiler with dual carbs. I never raced the car in any way, it was essentially just broken in with 1,500 easy miles. Like this year's Super Bowl or most high level competitive sports, he who fumbles will lose. A great high stakes Bet......tommygold has less to worry about, however must win 3 times.. |

No Fear = No Respect = Cobra WILL kill you! %/%/%/ There is every chance that with this cavalier attitude races 2 and 3 will be had in a canter by the prancing horse, after Blitz puts his snake into the wall. I hope it isn't so!!! -- Blitz & Tommy - make sure you don't drive faster than you guardian angel can fly ;) |

I did a 3-day at Spring Mtn (Vettes...normals and ZO6s) and it's a pretty damn technical course. He learned quite a bit about the Cobra (feel of the clutch, tire traction) even if it was only a few laps. BTW, when they combine both sides of the course, it becomes downright exhausting. |

What's the big secret? Are we keeping the specs from a) Tommy, b) Dan, c) the audience or d) all of the above? I assume if KC built it, it's probably a 482 or maybe a 496 with a roller cam. |
I would love to see the Cobra win and I am NOT a fan of Attorney's!!! I hope Tom kicks Dan's butt.

Many thanks to Otomyx and N2Venom for the intel, and apologies to the Mods for not understanding the edit to the post. It's truly amazing what a community this is -- so tight nit that you know individual cars!
Ok all, with it disclosed as a 482 s/o (I'm sure there was no engine change), does that change anyone's views? Also Dan's car will be in tip-top shape. It had a bunch of stuff wrong -- shocking, given the incredible care he has shown it -- and it's all fixed up. |
If he gets a couple of practice runs in - you are toast.
Save yourself the hassle and the money, pay the exit fee, save your paint, and send your old buds here at club cobra a fact finding fee.:3DSMILE: Toast.:LOL: |

I think the heads are probably the "typical" Stage 2 ported Edelbrocks, but if they were Stage 3 heads, then Dan could have a BIG positive, depending if it were properly matched cam. |
Thanks RK. So folks, is it dual quads and state 2 or state 3 heads?
And STL Mark, I can't tell who you think should be buying out. You voted that I would lose, but because I would mess it up. Test runs set for Maryland International Raceway Tuesday morning. One of your own already plans to be on hand. Video is probable. |
One vs Two carbs on an FE has been a back and forth controversy for years. With both sides posting numbers and data to show why or why not one or two is better.
I'm in the two is better camp myself. The fuel distribution per cylinder is improved. In EITHER CASE the main thing is to make sure it's dialed in for the motor. Tommy, for me the cube's dont change the picture that much. The basic problem with Cobras is how much of it can you hook up? I can't go 100% throttle on mine until somewhere around 80 mph and third gear. So, until then it wouldn't make much difference if I had 500 or 800 horse. That's why I've said the race will be the LAST 1/8th mile, not the first. At the end is where the really BIG horse power and cubes can finally be unleashed. Goodyear Bill Boards? Pfffft, no chance he can hook the power up early. |
This is a very exciting thread. But why?
Is it the amount of money involved? Is it the size of the egos? Is it Ford vs. Ferrari that dates back to the 60's? Is it 60's tech. vs. modern tech? I think its a combination of all of them that makes this thread so compelling. Any other reason for this much interest? |

Now, you may get close to driving past him as you cross the finish line, but if he stays in it hard - toast. Cheers and good luck. |
