Hey stale_face,
Remember Wild Willie Borsh and his AA/Fuel Altered? Only man crazy enough, or good enough to drive the thing with one hand! Lots of pics in the 60's hot rod magazines of him sideways as he left.
Big difference between that and a Cobra for twitchy. Drag racers don't have to go around corners at speed!
My car never scared me going in a straight line with my leg in it, but trying to push it in the corners gave me several good scares and a bunch more gray hair.
