When it comes time for me to financially step up to the plate and go the "real" race car route, I will most certainly give you guys a call. As for now, I'm perfectly happy with what I have, and the way the chassis is set up (I have access to a local Nascar Busch North Teams shop and supplier) for what I'm doing with the car......My concerns are not for my own, but for your company, as you delve in to putting NASCAR power to the public streets. Regardless of how well you prep and set up the chassis, if the driver has no real world experience with a short wheelbase car such as the Cobra (90"), and that much power at his finger tips (figure of speech), then he can and will get in to a world of trouble. By allowing your company to work on such a car, then placing it in the hands of the ignorant (yes, I am assuming that the potential owner has no experience in a overpowered Cobra), does open your company to a liability issue should that owner get killed, or worse yet kills someone.....My thoughts of this are of the "disclaimer" you need to have written and signed off on to keep your company from ever getting dragged in to the potential lawsuit that would erupt should the foreseen happen...Again, we are talking about putting this "cobra" on the street, not the track.............Just look at what happened to this "New Cobra Owner" . Click on the linka nd read up on it, then you might get my meaning after all.
