I was chuckling the other day when I saw a Cobra trying to impress the gathered crowd. The road was crowned a bit so he couldn't get on it. After a couple of tentative stabs on the throttle, he decided to go way up on to the highway to get on it - about 1/4 mile away. By then, nobody cared any more.
He probably should have passed around copies of his dyno sheet. I, for one,would have been more impressed with his $22,00.00 engine.
