Safety: Cobra vs C2 Vette or other cars

[AdamIsAdam]

I got the car in the winter and drove it, hard summer tires and all. The traction was nonexistent. As the weather got warmer I found that the seven-year-old Kumho tires with only 1500 miles on them aren't much for traction. Between the lack of traction and the stories of cobra's getting away from their drivers very quickly has kept me respectful of the car.

That being said. I do have some track time with instructors and several different cars. And a lot of street time and a lot of cars over my 50+ years. I like to call it respect and not fear and maybe a little bit of maturity sprinkled in, although I don't tell anybody else about that part. LOL

I can't wait to get a new set of tires and feel the difference. I've been waiting for the whole pandemic thing to die down before doing that but I'm not sure I'm gonna wait much longer.

I will say this though, I can't imagine racing this car in the 60s. Those guys had balls.
