Angry 1/2 mile to stop
Get real - I was thinking about showing up and changing the rear gear in the car- half a mile shut down area - even with a parachute and if I could hit(?) 200 mph (putting the rear wing at maximum downforce) - gee, does anyone have an ABS brake system Cobra? I weigh 1900 lbs with 3 gallons of fuel - no way could I stop that quick - good luck is all I can say- I have a four wheel Wilwood disc brake setup and usually do the quarter mile @ 150 mph, with at least a half mile shut down distance at a minimum - make it a half mile race - I will seriously consider showing up - my two cents worth - and this is just with a naturally aspirated motor - no NOX.
