All you guys,
Don't be a Spoil Sport. I have a friend that owns one of the Exact Carbon Cars. She is not one of the best driver in the world either but has seen all the youtube stuff and knows these cars can be a handfull.
But she imaged having such a road going sculpture of her own to appreciate anytime she wanted, not when someone happened by. :-) Caution to the wind she says.
So if she had listened to the scary people there would not be over 5K of Cobra smiles driving the Texas Hill Country including taking part in a track day at the Spring meet. Not blazing fast but still out there!

Her car is under 2k pounds does not need a lot of horses to get the go fast feel. A mild 351 moves it along nicely as well as reducing the steering weight. One this we did when building it though was disable the kick down on the T4. (Yes it has an auto just like Mr. Shelbys).

So I say let your girlfriend have her car and enjoy life. Wear a seat belt and get the grin!


Regards,
Richard
