Hi Kevin - it's all quiet on the Cobra front over here. I haven't even driven the car for a month or so. Haven't even lifted the car cover.....

It's so cheap to run when you don't run it !!!!!!

Seriously though, I'd like to put the motor into another car of mine, and bolt on a couple of BIG turbos. The short-block can handle much more power than it's currently making, and the other car will be able to get more of it to the ground. A replacement cheapo motor in the Cobra should still make 600 - 700hp with the blower, so I'll have two fun cars to drive.

I really want to get some video of the car out on a track shortly. A friend of mine just bought a digital video, so I can see my Cobra lining up against his 500+ cube, 13:1 compression Chevy at the local dragstrip soon.

....or as soon as I get a racing harness and fire system fitted...

The only current video that I have was from the engine dyno, but the noise made the speakers distort BIG-TIME, which makes it pretty painful to watch ! I'll get some onboard footage shortly (with maybe a bit of a burnout thrown in for good measure )
