You guys own hot-rods but want to race on a dyno or on paper?
what is that about?? I just don't understand. HP means nothing if you can't apply it. P/W ratios are joke in the real world if you can't get the rubber to grip and you can't launch. Go to a local dragstrip and have fun. Be careful, wear a helmet, gloves, and have an extinguisher handy and DRIVE your COBRA like it's supposed to be driven. You guys with 500+hp and putt around the boulevard are missing something special. bragging rights of HP are just b$ if you can't drive your car or are too scared to try. Some people show trailer queens at the meets and just want to show off the chrome. If it don't go, chrome it....look at every Harley ever built.

I've built and owned higher HP Toyota FJ40 Landcruisers than most of the cobras I see, but it'd be a joke to suggest a race on paper...or on the street, really.

Take the challenge. demand street tires for both cars. maybe clip the negative electrode on your plugs for extra spark, advance your timing (just a little) and use race gas, and KICK HIS
A$$!! And do 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5. Be a sport.
