I reckon thrill per second the Cobras win hands down. Plenty of excitement and noise even if you aren't going that fast. The whole no roof and side pipes experience really adds to it.

There's an old Datto 1600 with a 2L Turbo motor that turns up regularly at the nats. It keeps most of the Cobras in its rear vision mirror. I reckon I'd have more fun being passed by whilst driving in my Cobra than driving it and passing everyone.

Yep, Cameron, Phil N and Phil M are some of the guys I really want to chase around the track and hence the choice of going with the N/A 346 motor. I reckon this will be about the most fun class in coming years with the cars being built at the moment.

As for engineering marvel, I don't know about that. Besides it doesn't matter how well bolted together it is if the nut behind the wheel can't steer. I think I will be the biggest limiting factor in my cars performance. I am looking forward to learning though.

Cheers
