Not Ranked
Paul, to be honest, I can't remember for sure what the speeds were. I thought they were the lower numbers.... All I remember is that I stuck my head under the dash to pull the rpm limiter chip out of the MSD 7AL. If Laurie ran faster than the XY on his last attempt, we were going to run my car all the way to the speed trap - whatever rpm it was going to take. Maybe not the sensible thing to do when you're 900 Ks from home, but you do these things when the competitive spirit takes over. As it turned out, we didn't need the last run. I should have made my way to half track, or the speed gun to hear the car. I could still hear it through the speed trap pretty clearly from the start line 
I currently have no plans to do the aero package. Trying to get the bank balance closer to black is a big priority at the moment...  I definitely want to see what the car will do in the future. The thought of a genuine 200mph Cobra appeals to me. I'm certainly not confident that it would get out and do it first time, but what a buzz trying  
Zoom magazine saw my car at Qld Raceway and want to do a feature on it. When will you two get your cars out of Doug's shop and out to Avalon? I'm sure we could get some other toughies there for an article.....
