I took the cobra for another test drive today i drove very well
and goes like sh17 of a teflon shovel. wow it realy impressed me it felt faster than the celica if that is possible only had one problem i did a u turn in the unused part of road i was using and didnt get the shifter set in to ratchet mode and got to about 120 kph and shoved it into reverse well thats a new one for me and guess what happend first it locked the back wheels then once i slowed to about 60 it started turning the engine backwards and then it started running backwards i turned of the ignition and it finally stopped oh bugger i though. I wonder what i broke took a few tries to fire it up and it went sounded normal and so drove it home with my heart going about 190bpm all the way.
Well i learnt a couple of things you can put a car in reverse at speed and it does make the engine run backwards. Soo if it goes bang at nationals you know why.
other than that i am happy with it now for some track testing it had not trouble hazing the 315 pzeros on the back even in 3rd.
Cant wait to get it on slicks .
