Cobra power, how much is enough?

[RodKnock]

Accommodating someone who stands 6'2" is no big deal. There are plenty of even taller and even rounder Cobra owners driving comfortably in Cobras.

I don't mean to belabor the point others are trying to make here, but while you may commend some folks for trying and figuring out that they don't like it, Patrick would tell you that the "commendation" just cost that person (in the case of "rsimoes" and potentially "tin-man") somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000 +/-.

Because of Tin-Man's unusual build, Patrick would tell you that his bath water is going to be a degree or two past tepid. Say, $60k or more of yet-to-be-realized loss.

I was trying to be kind.

No need to kick someone when they're down.

Evan, I don't consider my build to be "mild", but I would say it's somewhere in the vast middle. I'm very happy with my build, but certainly wringing out another 10-25 HP with some righteous carb tuning wouldn't hurt either and make me even happier.

Rodknock: Having heard of your prodigious driving skills and lighting reflexes I say go for it!!!

Evan ol' buddy, don't forget that Ken miles and the boys were pushing the Cobras to their limits and beyond on the racetrack; so yes they would've been a handful at the limit compared to other contemporary sports/racing cars with different chassis dynamics and mere mortal power to weight ratios.

Ps: nice to see you back posting regularly. Kinda makes some of us CC old timers feel at home again.

Yeah, I guess I've mellowed with age. Kinder gentler me.

Now if we can only get Turk back. Ah yes, all nostalgic now. Yeah, those were the days when men were men and the gloves came off and brass knuckles were common around here.
