Here are your own words!!!! from your video!!!!! BTW nice run tho!

"Tried out some new 2.73 rearend gears on a slippery track at the Medford cruise-in. I had to throttle in and out of it several times each pass but had a lot of fun"


YOU ARE ON A DRAG STRIP and you you have to throttle in and out.... either your reaction time is SO BAD or your wheels broke...... and with gearing that NO ONE is running in these cars.....

SO I still stand by my statement....... thus why these cars are one of the MOST DANGEROUS cars in the world!

Just to clarify, that was a non-prepped track worse than most streets I drive on (I'm not joking), and close to 200 more rwhp than what you are running. Other Cobras that were there had trouble hooking 300 rwhp because the conditions were so poor.

I have found 550-600 rwhp to be the sweet spot for street driving and traction in my car depending upon road conditions and air temp. Fortunately, I can just turn a dial to adjust my power accordingly. Cheers.

You can pedal it, let off early, have fun, and still run a couple seconds quicker than the guy who thinks you have too much power. His loss.
