My first thought, exactly......and they aren't, the photos show a fairly typical Cobra profile, no "donut" spares on that Ford 9" rear end--real meaty things, they are.

I asked how accurate the speedometer is, he said: "The speedometer is relatively accurate."

Like others, I suspect that he was in 4th.....will verify for sure Wednesday PM.

Thanks for the help, guys.....if this thing really is spinning at 4K at 70 mph, well, that rear gear's way lower than a 3.70!!!!!!!!
