I never knew Steve or his family but when I read this a bad feeling came over me. It's the same feeling I had recently when I got a call late at night that my daughter was in an crash. I was told she was ok, but for a moment the world ended. She hit water in the road at 70 mph an spun out into a guard rail totaling the car.
I felt guilty because I never should have let her drive my car in the first place. (A highly modified Trans Am). The reality is it could of happened in any car.
I have since put her in a Buick and I'm steering my soon to be driving son toward a truck.
Cobra accidents shouldn’t scare you away from owning or building a Cobra. Just be realistic about how much horsepower you need in a street car. Perform safety checks on a regular basis and make sure you have seat belts for you and the passenger and you wear them. Maybe think cruising when on the street and autocross or drags when you want to go fast.
I can’t say if any of this advice would have helped Steve but lets all do a reality check and go forward in our lives and maybe, just maybe conversations like these and the memory of Steve and others will save someone in the future.
My sincere condolences go out to Steve's family. Ed
