Something you don't want to see everyday

[Fred Z]

I have understanding in the fact.........that you can throw out ALL the rules of normal automobile performance and expected reactions to a car's actions!! I tell the new, or soon to be, new owners of these cars......................"just remember........you think you know speed, you think you understand how to..........and you think you are experienced in being a 'driver of fast cars'...............well, you are now entering the 'twilight zone' on that issue........and it doen't have any bearing on what you know of the past!!! It is now........COBRA TIME.......and everything you once knew......can be thrown out the window and PLEASE..........just start over!!!
I have a 550 hp and same torque FFR.....highly developed, and set up with everything to make it safe, comfortable, and of course.......FASTER THAT HELL........and I absolutely fear the car........which keeps me sane........logical, and best of all.......a much, much better driver in any car I drive!! To do anything other than respect this danger is absolutely foolish......and we have that choice each and every time we turn that little shiny key....get ignition..and get ready for takeoff! I love my Cobra.....and look forward to driving it everytime I can.....but never do I forget the stories like posted here........so many 'want to be racers' just don't GET WHAT THIS LITTLE GUY is all about!
Glad to see no one injured......and they will live to talk about it another day.........heck.....maybe they even learned something.....something THEY can pass on to the 'next do do that thinks he is bullet proof!

PS....also because of all the recent issues with street drags ..and people getting hurt, and worse.....this is the time we should show the rest of the 'speedies'...how to keep it nice and controlled in areas of congestion and people .........just makes us a bit better in the eyes of the uninformed.
