Actually a club member here entered his Cobra in auto salon here on the Gold Coast. I went to help him out, I was pretty impressed.
They were constantly running cars up on the dyno, Subaru WRX with 500rwkw(at 4 wheels & no nos), Skyline's with close to 700rwkw with nos. The Cobra put out very low numbers in comparison, but sounded good doing...and drew the same respect as the other cars.
I actually got some good ideas, some very good engineering. Yeah, quite a few cars that were not to my taste. Although Commodore ute body on Hilux chassis was very cool...and looked very factory.
The cars at the Auto Salon were not the stupid no substance ricer cars you see on the street, yes they were riced, but they also had some serious mumbo and engineering mods.
I did get a little sick of the noise and loud doof, doof music, but hey that's what the kids like.
