J.Jensen, I like the way you're thinking.
This is from Road & Track magazine, written about the Cobra 260ci....
"...it would idle with only a trace of lumpiness, pull strongly at almost any speed, and buzz past the 5800rpm power peak to 7200 rpm before it began to sound distressed. And surprisingly, the power did not appear to fall off much even at 7000rpm - 1200 rpm over the point of maximum power."
....and this was 1962!
Cheers,
Glen
