Default INDY APPEAL....send money a.s.a.p.

Dear Fellow Cobraphiles.....met some lovely new friends today at Indy, but none of them could afford clothes that fit them.

Think of it as a "service" to mankind....I WILL !

I vaguely remember Mr. Wazza pulling a stunt like this couple years ago.

Red dresses, hairy legs, high heels and village people types.

I'm really starting to worry about our Wazza.

I'm back at Indy today, and I'll try to find some " Uni - genders" and report back.

Indy driver's parade today, taking all of the V8 Supercar drivers for a lap.

Today at 3-10 p.m. ( Qld Time)
and Tomorrow with the Champ car drivers at 11-45 a.m. (Qld. Time )

Have a good one...

Regards,

Warren

I'm not giving them the "hogan" test..they might view it as an invitation.

You might find a tailshaft but I'll bet it wont fit the cobra.

Another Indy bites the dust, and a few more shots of the guys up here enjoying the annual Driver's Parades.

Including a new "Star", Joe Bauer's beast.

Daily driver with Supercharged/nos/Stroked LS1....good for over 1,100 r.w.h.p., but keeps it at around 690 r.w.h..p. for daily driving....it's frightening.

And it's also a little different , with the paint/wheels, and interior.

Hope you enjoy the shots.

Regards,

Warren.

Hey there Wazza, looks like a good time was had by all.
Just a thought (and this is my opinion nothing more) but in the latest street machine magazine it is a fairly big claim by Joe to say he has the fastest Cobra, most powerful I would think is a given, but not sure about fastest.

As was proven at the Nationals a few weeks ago, it isnt raw power that makes these cars fast.

But aside from that it certainly looks to be a well put together car.

You're quite right Box...
It would depend on how you were measuring it.
In a straight line, with the right tyres...I can't see how it wouldn't be the one to beat.

If you're talking about around a race track...a different story.

Ashley Bright was a good example of that with his "Mid 200 h.p." Cobra getting around Wakefield in 1m.09 secs. ...
The Prick !!

However , Joe's car is producing H.P. at around the same volume as the Weineck Cobra...
http://www.weineck-power.de/main.html
( I can't imagine it'd have the ridiculous amount of torque that the Weineck has though )..

and they have some frightening claims to the speed that they're making.

# 0-200 km/h 4,9 s.
# 0-300 km/h 10 s.
# Weight to power ratio: 0,9 Kg / hp

I've been in the workshop when this car was being built, ( My son, Michael , a.k.a."Egg one" was the apprentice at the workshop at the time ), and I was there for the first time it fired up, and it "HURT" !!!!

The whole building rattled, and I decided at the time that I would NEVER be a passenger in this car.

It sounds a lot more refined now that it's finished, but Joe gave it a "blat" in the underground car park here in Surfers Paradise the other day...and everybody flinched...it was like a fighter jet had just flown over us at about 100 feet !!!

Almost needed new dacks !!!

He also showed us his freshly broken windscreen, broken from top to bottom, where he'd given it a "touch" on the M1 at 110 k.p.h., and despite the extra stiffening of the chassis, the torque twist broke his windscreen !!

And this was in "Street Mode"....i.e. the Supercharger dialed right down, and it was ONLY producing approx 690 r.w.h.p.

He swears it's really easy to drive at this level.


Not a Cobra for me....I LOVE power, but I like to be in control of it at all times.

Gotta tip my hat to Joe though , for creating his own work of art.
It's a hell of a machine.

I agree with you Wazza, it is one hell of a machine.

Joes is a hell of a car but how did he get it engineered and registered. NOS, supercharger, stroked must have played havoc with the standard emmissions. My engineers eyes rolled a bit when I mentiond a cam!

Nice to see a pic of me and my new mate!!!

Great time had by all even though my Indy driver was not the most approachable human being I've come across

How many people can say they have driven Craig Lowndes in their car - he ven signed my dash so that should raise the sell price by say $500
