Shelby tried and failed to break this barrier, failed even with the Daytona Coupe, off of which the Dodge Viper is a sneak rip off, but there is a way. In the Air Force it is called R.A.K.O. - rocket assisted takeoff. Might be a cost effective way to reach 200 and beyond ....

MT,
Dick Smith's car is a Roadster #198 and I beleive still driven by him. I know it can be seen at major Shelby shows. Record was set at Daytona speedway.:rolleyes: Cranky:LOL: |
John,
Just so you know...the Cobra, aerodynamically is the equivalent to this: http://www.jensenpatiobrick.com/products/brick.jpg That is why the Daytona Coupe was created. Not sure if that car ever hit 200 either. |
The Dick Smith car is actively raced, I've seen it many times including Laguna Seca this past year where it lost an engine.
It has unique bumpers, it's a special car. |
