My fastest behind the wheel was 40+ years ago. My first car was a '56 Ford Sedan Delivery that came with a 272 CI Y-block, 2 bbl. carb and an oil bath air cleaner. I transplanted a 312 CI with a 4 bbl. and drove that for a while. I was on a local highway an decided to open it up one night and saw an indicated 127 MPH on the speedo needle before the dancing front end convinced me to back off. Well, that and a couple of bent pushrods...
A couple of years before that I was a passenger in a 440 GTX as we were heading to the lake. The driver had it wound up to about 140 MPH for a short while, but like my old Ford the front end got light at those speeds. Damned wipers didn't work well either, so he had to back it down when we got a few sprinkles.
Still a newbie with the Cobra, but looking forward to finding a safe place to play and try it out.
