I'd have to admit Stiff, it probably took some big kahoonas to just stand harder on the brake pedal at that stage, despite that area being moderately open but without track vision and knowing the runway was just about depleted before that launch.

I was actually watching you when all this happened and did start waving a yellow flag, for what it was worth at the time.

As a sailor I've learnt to carry a lot of grey tape, just in case. I can lend you a heap to tape that bonnet back down if you like.

But then what is the real fix planned?

Stiffness, just a ratio swap for the diff or something altogether different?

Default Ratio

SAMBO,


Ratio change from 3.9 to 3.5, I am sick of changing gears all the time.

The Cobra is fantastic with a 3.5 diff, fast and driveable....
