Doc, thanks for the clarification on the specs. 130-140 is quite realistic with an over drive trans and your rear gear. Well done, I know there are only a few of us who would take our Cobras into that rare realm of 130 plus (135 for me, ).

The definition of the word "stock" has become over used, especially at it applies to the BDR's in general, not just your car, which I would not consider "stock". "Near stock", I'll give you that! More important to me, the suspension your running sounds "stock", and THAT part is significant.

"Stock" means: You go down to the BDR dealer and purchase the base unit as typically advertised for the price that is typically quoted. $4000 for a "sport suspension" up-grade does not make for a "stock" car in my opinion.

That "typical" BDR, in my opinion, would have the 80/20 rear gear (one legger?), a standard trans (no over drive), no brake up-grade, "stock" suspension and powered by perhaps a "healthy" 302.

The Run and Gun car with the rear wing and front air dam has also been referred to as "stock". Well,,,, to say the least, it sure didn't "look" stock. It did, in fact, look VERY much like a "ringer" and NOT like a "Cobra". So the word "stock", as it applies to BDR's leaves me scratching my head......
