Default I always heard that there weren't

many originals left because these beasts were way too much to handle for the average joe.
Anyone have those stats?

As stated earlier, a race car under a thin disquise. Think of the power to weight ratio, acceleration etc. Tiny little car were one can practically lean an arm out and drag your knuckles on the pavement.

Hell lets put the speed demon race mentality aside and think about being t-boned in an intersection by some dufous running a light ( defensive driving right Jamo?)
How about getting clipped by any one of the SUV's or a new Dodge Ram...May as well wrap me up in that.

Whats a rear ender going to do for us?

One good thing, we have the acceleration to get out of some possible scenes.....hopefully we are alert and defensive enough to be on the ball and do something about it.

Anyone ever see that video of the british cobra doing its burn across the English country side at higher speeds? Now there's a sight...what a road as well...........crazy.

I guess he knows his roads and the potential dangers.

Speed rated tires? Road Hazards?

You name it it can happen

How about the few who have no safety hoops on their driveshafts? Or no steel scattershields?

Anything can happen. Cheesy battery setups next to fuel systems? All to be had within 2 feet of each other in the trunk.
Even where you "frame run" your battery leads/ brake lines or fuel lines....all take on new meaning when a driveshaft lets go.

I could go on.........just beware and expect the unexpected.
