That is correct Pat, but my experience with Cobras and the traction issues has been thats not the case. But it is indeed a valid point.

With Bill Boards and a TKO600, due to the lower gearing, I'm guessing he will not be able to go full throttle until 3rd gear. Somewhere close to 80 mph. Now with DOT approved road slicks, a bit sooner, certainly not before 2nd gear at least.
