TO WHAT END?
None of the talking -head experts here ask themselves that question. And when newer guys ask for advice or info all they see is 'authoritative' preferences based mostly on web-dredged BS-not- lap times, ET's or durability evidence.
Ignored or not contemplated in all these BS science threads is
What is the intended purpose of the car's use??
8/10's of the debaters and pontificating experts on here have
NO NEED for corner weights, ZDDP, space-age coolants, gallons of
oil and several other myth-laden subjects. And certainly neither do you, my authoritative friend. Guys are buying $15 / quart
oil and throwing it out in three thousand miles because A. They perceive it's the best stuff for their 'baby' and B. They just CAN. Nobody asks '
Do I really need some of this esoteric stuff? Virtually
NONE of it is required to increase the car's performance or longevity for the length of the owner's attention span-
unless it's raced on the street or track.
You're buying Avons ?--to cut quicker laps to the haberdasher? Or cut 1.1G apexes? MT's are equal to your now-old Yokos and your street trolling needs at half the price of Avons. SFT's 'cause the noise is 'cool' in a rebuilder FE that can't make the tach touch '6'. The Emperor's Clothes indeed.
Get to Skip Barber's for the three day and when you're done you'll realize that there's 7/10's left in the car you never knew about.
THAT'S what Cobras are all about.
You've taken this 'poser' stuff to new depths. Even Ferrari / Porsche owners conclude we're ass-clowns based on what can be read here.
