Brock Coupe hits 206 MPH

[Don]

From the November 24th edition of AutoWeek:

" Superformance's Brock Daytona Coupe broke the 200mph barrier recently during informal testing on an open road near Port Elizabeth , South Africa where the cars are built. The speedometer only goes up to 160mph, so factory test driver Geoff Blandford used a GPS device common among automotive engineers to calculate the unofficial speed at 206mph, says Pete Brock, the car's designer.

Brock says plans call for setting a South Africa land speed record, followed by a run at Bonneville in 2004. It would not be unprecedented, Brock said a Daytona Coupe set numerous records at Bonneville in 1965 with none other than Craig Breedlove at the wheel. There are 15 Brock Coupes in the States, at five Superformance dealers. Brock said there should be 30 in country by the end of the year. "

I just got #7! I wonder how fast it can go with 600 Rear Wheel Horse Power????

Awesome!

SuperCoupe - by the looks of your pic above I would say that 600 HP would get you up to 1 or 2 MPH. It depends how fast you can push it down the street on those wheels. Put the real ones on & she will certainly fly.

Catch ya later

Supercoupe,

Drop me a line when you get a chance, there are quite a few of us fellow "Cobra fanatics" here in the northern, NJ area. Some of us even take it to the track(s).
