Which Cobra Handles Best?

[Cracker]

I would be happy to run the teener against #3170 but he has made it abundantly clear that will not happen. We have a back-up plan now at a great track too - he claims the GT3 is just a tad slower than the Cobra. So there is some basis of comparison.

Pipe-up to him about the car change - not me. I did not change cars...

Sorry can't do it, i have to much respect for Bruce.

But i do understand why he may not be interested in risking 3170.

You may have dodged that one!

All good fun!!

Yes it is. Also in fairness to Bruce - he never changed cars, he just never entered it! Although my car does run its original suspension - it is also the fastest known 914 in the world. I'll be looking forward to spanking a new GT3!

Super cool Man!
You have the fastest 914, and the most powerful cobra in the worldNice!

Do you like to go fishing?

[Cracker]

Wow. Rough company - no respect shown this way I see. I can assure you my claims are not fish-tales...

All the best.

All the best to you as well, just having a little fun
I still don't think you have the car to go around that 3170 or that kmp 259.:

I realize some of you like to stir-the-pot; I have been known to do the same, God knows. Just for clarification in regards to my first post...I assumed the original motor/drivetrain was in #3170 when I made that comment. I mean, who the hell races an original car...puts a full-blown race motor in it? I guess Bruce does! Either way, that car is so far away from how it was built originally, at least fundamentally, it falls under the "outlier classification" I have mentioned several times before.

Now if Bruce is actually claiming his GT3 is even close to the Cobra's performance than it will be a good (maybe great) time. I guarantee you we'll be sipping beers and telling stories before the weekend is over. I have honestly been trying to get to RA for the last couple years - this little fun contest might just provide the impetus needed to get there next year.

Have you ever seen KMP259 in person? Morris has done an amazing job but it does not qualify for being anything close to an original competition Cobra of the 60's! Nothing.

PS: History will show here that I do not lose challenges...have you acquired a taste of your own words?

A functional high-powered Cobra - one of a kind motor from Kaase for this application...


Bruce's on-track competition...good luck Sir!


No less spartan than a competition Cobra...but a hell of allot more comfortable.
