Fair enough, on the HP I agree there comes a point where you need to pull in Nancy Reagan for the just say no speech :)

Gentlemen, start your engines ...
Cobra: The First 40 Years by Trevor Legate So racing in the SCCA championship events in the USA from 1957 was a Chevrolet V8-engined AC Ace featuring stylish flared bodywork. AC were required to subtly re-design the Ace when it metamorphosed into the Cobra in 1962, but it was hardly a major problem; they had done something very similar some 5 years earlier. Naturally other SCCA racers would have seen this car in action and taken note. Cobra: The First 40 Years - Trevor Legate - Google Books |

To finish first, you first must finish. |

Ok, enough of that. Anything to share chevy related?
Kind of the topic here. |
Off topic indeed.
The title of the topic is, "Let's See Your Chevy Powered Cobra". |
As can be plainly seen, chevy discussions allowed with inputs from many received, no need for you to be here if you are not going to contribute in that vein, thank you.

285 km/h = 177 mph. I thought the 427's got a little "flighty" at ~150 mph. Maybe this guy had some aero work done, or maybe 150 mph is a little conservative, or he's just plain nuts to take it that fast.
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg-VaXajlPo"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg-VaXajlPo[/ame] Published on May 13, 2013 Had some fun on the local airstrip racing a twin turbo Gallardo, rolling start at 80km/h. It is supposed to have 1200-1300hp so I thought I held up pretty well considering I only have just above 500hp :) Speedo is graded to 260kph and the needle is way past that in the end, GPS said 285km/h. |

Anyone care to let me in on the secret of uploading pictures to this site? Have reduced the size to well below the minimums and still won't load.

That Looks Nice
Love those valve covers. Just what the car show crowd expects to to see. I'm still sporting bowties. If your running the C4 suspension what kind of wheels? Thanks for the pics
