Cobra Safety and HP

[KobraKarl]

Brent,

Just readin the posts , you know, we sound pretty funny sometimes (myself included) trying to make sense out of these domesticated rockets. How much wheel spin is apropriate? at what speed is wheel spin dangerous, are sticky tires really safer or do they only help us closer to a dangerous edge of the envelope.........300 bhp is a bat out of hell .....500.....still seems a little shy?

I dont mean to ramble And i'll be the last one to preach, but I think its pretty obvious that one of the fastest production race car ever built really has no common sense place on the street .......and all of us who do it, must do it at our own peril........when we decide to exploit the ripping power of these machines, (and you know we do...even you Evan) after we have decided the kids, cops, and other cars or obstacles are clear, .....well I dont really have to say any thing else do I?

I know Ive learned a lot of respect for these cars by scaring the living crap out my self!........here is a couple,

Never.........NEVER.. spin the wheels unless you are going dead straight, or 1 mph.

If your rear starts to come around on you at speed do NOT lift abruptly ....drive out of it instead.

I dont run a tire any softer than a TA radial , ...I want a chance to get it back.

These things GO a hell of a lot faster than they stop....be ready.

If you get a wheel in the dirt,... drive out , dont turn out.

just a couple things i keep in my mind......how bout you guys.......
