Probably the equal of or better than most of our replicas as built . I remember going through the uphill esses at VIR at 100 mph + with a 2013 Ford Focus ST grafted to my rear bumper .... and that was a totally stock car other than aftermarket pads .
so , I spend tons of money , buy parts and reset the suspension , go to hi performance tires just to beat a Ford Focus ST ???? 
Will get rid of my ERA ??? Absolutely not ... it is far more fun to drive than the Focus , and I love it . |
Bobcat,,, if you bring the cobra up to your extra house in Carolina foothills, maybe I could borrow the old 2000 focus I sold, do some practice runs following you up (THAT) hill. It being 13 years older than the SVT you spoke of,, you've got a much better chance of shaking this tailgater.
Only picking...
Little café near pool at top of hill, isn't bad. Was there a few weeks back.
