No I don't want to, but alone, with a slight curb, or some other uphill obstacle, and I really need to get out of the way, yes I will, and have. Try pushing alone over a curb w/o a running start. I can't, I've tried. You may be strong enough, but if you do find yourself in that position, it does work well, and it seems my high torque starter made easy work of it. If anything I think the Red Top would give out before the the starter.

It means more than one thing I guess. Any car can stall for many reasons that will not allow you to "simply fire it up". Why did it stall, (or die), in the first place? I'm not talking about stalling because you slipped the clutch too soon. These cars are hand built, and will need to be sorted out from time to time.

Remote starter on a Cobra? I don't think so!
