Not Ranked
personally, I know of three very public deaths (do a search here on Club Cobra). How many more where they did not make it to this web site. Then again, how many accidents due to people who had no clue how to handle a short wheelbase, high horsepower vehicle such as the Cobra just in the last year....Did everyone forget what happened at the fling last year (with someone who supposedly had years of high HP Cobra experience)Thank god it happened at the airport, and not in the center of town........ No, I'm not joking about this, just injecting a dose of reality to anyone who wants to have 600+hp in a 2168lb automobile like a Cobra.......If I can get at least one person to sit back and think about this, and it saves their life, then my job is done. I'll take the heat for what I post...............Let the drivers beware that they can get in way over their heads, and it could kill someone................

PS: I had to speak with a friend of a 18 year old who just died in a high speed auto accident just off rt 287....He tried to take a 35mph offramp at 100mph+.....I'm sure that he thought he could handle it. From the outcome, I guess not...................

I'm hoping that your last post wasn't serious, but I don't see any  or  anywhere.
