Some are a handfull at 7/10ths ......but guys like John white have managed to make them go around corners quite tidily.
I reckon 300 rwkw is sufficient to have more fun than should be allowed 
Big rwkw are impressive but hard to get to the ground.
Mikes set up will comfortably get 300rwkw so I reckon he is in for some fun track days.
Should be good for sub 12 second quarters as well.

Yep, I totally agree. I have often said that about 400fwhp is great for the street cobras....say about 350rwhp. From then on it gets really interesting.
Even at that modest power much time should be spent optimizing braking, handling and getting the power down.
A well handling/braking 400hp cobra will often run rings around much larger engined cars....except in a straight line.

Actually, I'm gonna regret saying this but I'm really looking forward to seeing the first LS2 or even a L98 cobra hit the streets.
Me thinks that would be an excellent combination. 
There, I said it.....but will deny that I ever did.

10/10ths
Hmmm, my little black one only has 285HP. Alot less than 300rwhp
Actually if I'm correct 300rwhp = 1.35 x 300 = 405rwhp! Wow. I think that's about what John White has.... But he knows how to peddle....
I certainly learnt alot about my car and race tracks at the Nats. But 285 rwhp certainly kept me busy. I am hanging for this years Nats as I want to see how much I can improve...
But you have to love HORSEPOWER!

I doubt mine will be the first LS2 Cobra but after a trip to the Harrison shop next weekend I think (hope) I'll be departing with my deposit soon after. Then it's 1-2 years of hard work and we'll have a nice 400HP LS2 powered Cobra cruising the streets of Melbourne. Bring it on.  |

Mate I considered that new shortened custom IRS from Warwick but thought the extra $4000 was better spent elsewhere (namely paint). The reco'd R32 rear comes in at about $1500 which is pretty cheap for what you get. If it shatters down the track I can always go the exotic option - I hear with minor chassis mods it goes straight in.

Love it
Mike,
Love what you have done.
I look forward to rubbing guards with you on the track.
I must agree that the class we run in is exciting, some very good competitors and correct me if I am wrong but it is also the largest class making a podium finish hard earned.
Yes, I am the weakest link in my cars performance.

Hi Mike, the other guys are right, a turkey pan would fit in perfectly. Great looking setup the way it is.
Regards.
