I refer you to page 193 in the book.

"My favorite comment came from the head of the Miller Motorsports Driving School. After several hot laps, he said, “You know, with a Cobra you run out of chassis long before you run out of motor. With this car, I just kept pushing it harder and harder. I ran out of motor before I ran out of chassis. This has potential for a serious race car."

Miller Motorsports owns two of our cars and Larry Miller has several original Cobras in his collection. The drivers at the track drove all of them (ours and the originals) regularly.
