Is that you Grant, you stirrer?!? I don't think anyone would disagree that Mark's car is a well sorted car with some hardcore bits all over it. I'm like others who would be interested to see how it compares to other Cobras that run some pretty good times up at QR and Morgan Park.

You know that my car was good in a straight line and had a bit of power, but I didn't have the suspension design, parts, set-up or talent to compete with other Cobras at full length racetracks. As such, I'm just interested to see how Mark's car would compare to one or two regularly driven fast street Cobras at QR.

Do you still have that monster turbocharged Falconer Chev?

Hey Craig, Couldn't help it , there is so much dribble posted on these sites.
If some one doesn't know the facts they just make it up !. At least some one got close with the comment about a Supercar engine ,thing is a real good combo now , enough said.
The Cobbie was never Green , had a green radiator mouth at one point. Never was Supercharged and anint a Nascar engine just good old Aussie beef.
Marks Cob at Bathurst was some thing to see and hear coming up the mountain!!!. Old Toyo Gear-sack let it down on that occasion , problem solved now. Pretty stout jigger for a street driven toy.
We shared the drive at Oakey and M ran 6 th and I ran 7 th outright against all the single seaters etc.
Yes still got the 1000 or so neds locked up in the V6 , maybe i should line the shop Ute up with a few of u boys. Draught horses not Shetlands.
Ive got a 4 cyl jigger that does 53 s at the Lake and 9s on the 1/4
Drag racers don't have a lot of imagination either corners arn't in the plan. Thats what i love about road racing , brakes , suspension , aerodynamics and the power comes last .
Power cruise should be a blast this time around !. Maybe we can see a few more Cobbies there .
Any way back to the real world , there's work to do. Have a good day.[ love a good stir ].xxx
