Has Anyone Built a Four Wheel Drive Cobra, Yet?
Hey Guys,
Last night I was reading my new issue of Grassroots Motorsports. There is an article about an Eagle Talon. The four cylinder turbo engine setup was not very radical, yet it was making over 1,000 horsepower and tuns the quarter mile in 8.76 seconds! The owner describes launching it carefully so he doesn't break drive train parts and how the four wheel drive allows him to put all the power down.
There was an article a few months ago comparing the BMW 330ci, the Subaru WRX and the Acura Integra with the same power and exactly the same tires. The idea was to find out which handled better, rear, front or 4 wheel drive. The WRX clearly demonstrated the advantage of 4 wheel drive and won easily.
I'm thinking, if I had it all to do over again, I may have built a 4WD Cobra. Has anyone tried this yet?
Paul
