Bob,

That is why I joined the forum. I have been a gearhead for 40 years and have had many muscle cars and hot rods, but now I really enjoy total performance that the high power to weight ratio rides offer. I want something with good street manners that with the addition of safety items could be run on track day. Doing the all out performance route in a Cobra replica is many times safer than trying to do it in a "one off" Track T. I wanted to up the ante to something over 525 hp in the T but now have decided to apply that new engine money to buying someone's fully sorted street/track Cobra. I am in no hurry because I'm keeping the T, it is just too much fun hanging with the T crowd in something that handles so much better than a regular T bucket and with the engine covered, they all know it must have a 2.3 L Pinto four banger.
