That always cracks me up when someone automatically assumes the worst, and has to make sure they wag a finger of disapproval.

I guess it's like a lot of things these days; If you understand, no explaination is necessary. If you don't understand, no explaination is possible.
Why don't we just try to stay positive, and keep the negative comments to ourselves?
Sorry for the rant...

That's not what I think I said, but who cares at this point. 
Also, your saying not to post any negative comments, when your comment is also negative. Further, if there were no negative posts on this or any Forum, then you probably wouldn't have many Forums.  |

Each to their own. I won't tell you what to do, and I'd expect the same from everyone else...

I agree, life must be a great adventure otherwise it does not worth living.
I break rules every time I can because rules are not usually logical but based on what fear people. Or made to have the less gifted ones to survive.

I thought two negatives made a positive! Oh, well. That's why you should ignor me and my stupid comments. I should know better, but it seems I don't.
Sorry.

No yet, Trying to talk him out of retirement
750HP Daves still is at 10.20. He has the car. Outside of needing a new set of slicks for the rearend, We are still waiting. Waiting for the days on the next R&G. I still think to date that no FE motor cobra without and power adders has gone 9.0's yet. I have to change 1st & 2nd gear in my trans before taking a shot a this. Will use the new motor, 498. will have the power, trick will be getting the first 60' time to run that fast before getting thrown off the track for not having a full cage. Rick L.

I would enjoy so much to be thrown away from the track for breaking the time-limit!!!This would be the happiest day of my life. Still 1.9s to improve for me.......
Requesting full cages for fast car which are street legal is not logical since any time on empty roads (no traffic, no pedestrian, no house),
I can accelerate at full power if there is no policeman in sight.

Going that fast is great. That mph is good for mid to low nines with good traction.

I am aware of at least two more fast Cobras deep into the 8's. One owned by Rocky Keyes and the other I can't remember. I think it was a Shell Valley car from the Northern U.S.

My question is, do these 7 and 8 second Cobra's get driven on the street? Dave drive's his regularly from Defiance to St. Charles. Not downplaying the faster cars, but there's always someone faster depending on the setup.

Purple Venom makes a good point. David ran the drags in Tulsa last summer then drove the cobra over 400 miles home!

That is very fast, congrats. I'm amazed they allowed a 2nd run. A full cage and NHRA license is normally req'd to run under 10 seconds or over 135 mph. I wish a track would let me have a couple runs. Cheers.
