Skilled driver, why there were two drivers, is it for better cornering capabilities.
Thanks Mopsdrops

Thanks for the link, the driver was good, but I want to know why he had a passenger?!? Surely that would slow the acceleration between corners!

Wow, I can't imagine how fun it would be to go around a track like that with such a fast car like the Cobra. You can tell that the driver is talented. Very nice video. Thx a lot.

Thanks MopsDrops,
I really love clean line racing 
Much more spectacular than all that slipping and sliding if you ask me
With respect to that shotgundriver: Think the driver was doing him a favour, just to enjoy the ride in an AC Cobra.

Why does every one base American sports car handling on what they experience in computer games...???

Probably... and also because american prefer heavy car with 8000cc engines, while the rest of the world prefer light cars with small engines (better handling). |
Well - I guess you just proved yourself wrong - what Americans really prefer is LIGHT cars with MASSIVE engines..
Don'tr believe me - check that Cobra video out again..

Yes, yes... I see that I'm wrong, at least with the Cobra. May be with the Corvette and the Viper too, but for the others... no comments. Well, we had a lot of posts before talking about "american cars vs european/japaneese cars", and I don't want to start it again ... BTW, I'm a great Cobra fan since I saw the "Gumball Rally" movie from 1976, and I would probably take it over the Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona Spider... |
What other acrs? The rest of the cars are econo-boxes any way...
BTW - take a look at the "over-weight and under-powered" Caddy in the next thread...
All I can say is that Audi better use that Lambo engine in their next sedan...
