[CSX3183]

Original 427 Cobra, with orignal Smith's guages, tach and speedo jumped all over the place at high speed. Took it up to 165 on my way to the Sebring race in 1980, at least it looked like it hit 165, the whole car was shaking, had the top up, it was something else. I ran out of balls.

After I had my first child, I became responsible, never took it over 145.

Oh yea, after reading all of the other replies, it reminded me of why I ran out of balls, first I thought the top was going to rip off, talk about a balloon effect, that was the only time my head didn't hit the top, (I'm 6-6), the side curtains certainly kept the top from flying off. And the front end getting lose, it really didn't want to go where I was pointing it, very scary. Even though I was a cop, I figured if I got stopped, there was no way I was gonna escape punishment, those Fla. county sherrifs on the west coast don't have a sense of humor.
