Not Ranked
Just a quick update on my car for sale in the name of honesty. I had it dyno tuned this week on a chassis dyno and as I suspected the engine does not make the 620hp as advertised my the prevoius owner and myself as I copied his ad. I have owned two gt1 cars, a BP vintage corvette, a formula alantic and a 650hp street 67 corvette. I sold or traded each of these cars with all the info I knew and each owner has been very happy. I would like to keep that reputation. My Cobra (still for sale) dyno'ed at 409 rear wheel HP on a 94 degree day with 60% humidty. I would take a guess that the motor would make about 525hp or so on a engine dyno in a controlled enviroment. Still more than enough for this car. It did gain almost 40hp through the tuning and runs more smoothly.
I also learned that the rear end suspenson would cost 15 to 18K to build today. I can attest to the handling after two track events. I will have the car at Road America on 8/15 and 8/16 if any prospective buyer would like to go for a ride. It now has professionally installed dual roll bars (2k).
