The terms of this bet are absolutlely killing Dan. I don't know what clutch was in the car originally (I'm sure it was decent), but a car with that kind of power needs as heavy duty of a clutch as he can get.
Can't change the clutch..............can't change the tires............can't go to the track to practice anymore.
Can he change his pants after he gets beat?
This is going to come down to the DRIVERS instead of the CARS, which is a shame, but I think that's what the bet was really about. Afterall, we're talking BIG egos here (no offense to Tom and Dan - I'd say MOST of us have pretty big egos here).
As witnessed earlier, all Tom has to do is point his car in a straight line and give it gas, and he's clicking off times that were equal to professional drivers at Road & track for cryin' out loud - and he doesn't even have to shift! Dan on the other hand, well, it takes a skilled, experienced driver to get the best out of a Cobra, and 12 sec 1/4 mile times out of THAT car with THAT engine shows me that Dan needs a lot more work.
IMHO, unless the Ferrari breaks, Tom may as well start spending the money now.
-I just hope both of you stay safe and keep the shiney side up.
