Warren,
If you knew this friend you wouldn't be amazed at all. He is filthy rich and owns I don't know how many cars and what all. But he just doesn't have much idea about handling and such stuff. In fact after one of our road races out on an old piece of highway that winds through the low hills and desert, when we got back his neighbor just couldn't understand how my Cobra with just one carb could possibly beat his as he had two carbs. His car scares me to drive it. The body sways all over, the brakes won't stop it in less than 100" from 60 MPH, and it really needs to be gone through and set up. In fact he is now so scared of the brakes he won't hardly move it.
