I know you are just trying to get a rise out of other people by the comments you are making in all your posts recently but you are now just coming across as a know it all who never makes mistakes and is so clever at everything you try. As we all are aware this is clearly not the case :finger:

OW God we have touched another nerve ending! Mr AK himself. yes but your RV8 never reached the figures you claim it did, so the new engine would feel relatively lively; is it actually on the road yet Martin??? As I said in the Viper post most on this site talk crap re BHP and I have posted my results to prove it. I am only 5 bhp behind a Chevy Python at the rear wheels but it was auto, loosing 25% + through the drive train.

How do i stand with a heavy cast iron v6 ? Mind you it is quite easy to dry steer with donor 155 cortina wheels on .

Let's not bicker, each kit has it's own merit/perils and followers.

The suspension has RECENTLY BEEN SET UP BY DARE I SAY IT CHENG LIM!! Say no more I as myself and I say is much improved but I dont like it at speed or slow but that's my opinoin. osgood:angel:

As said before, everybody to there own, it just so happens that you are used to driving a pudding and when you drive a proper Cobra it obviously doesn't feel right. :thumb:

Ahh Mike, another day another Dollar as they say Contrary to popular belief I am not taking the urine with every post I make and I certainly don't know it all so I guess thats out of the way as regards Martin & Chris. I was mealy sharing the view with Kevin that people tend to build cars to suit there own needs & feel, light or heavy lump etc. Also the particular vehicle I drove at the week end for the second time which is in A1 condition I was not happy with certain points for my own taste, this vehicle could have been a GD Kirkam,Dax, Magnum,Sumo, Viper, Crendon, Python etc etc. I was not having a go honest

Much the same as the guy who owns this car was less than happy with my set up when he drove it, sharp and positive & light feel. he did rate the smooth gear change though & my little bleeper on the indicators So as you say each to his own and what he is used too.

Ah I see the battle of the who's got the best engine/kit rages on - can I throw in my 2p?
I own a Ducati 748 - the baby brother of the iconic 916 - and when launched it was described as 'not so much a case of less, as different...".

Can I suggest that this is the same with Cobra kits? It doesnt matter what's under the hood - whether its a 4 cylinder a, 6, 8, or even v12 derivitive engine! And the same is true for the type of kit - each has its own merits, its own 'personality' if u will. So can we leave the bickering back in the school playground? We're all damn lucky to own the car of our dreams so lets just enjoy that and help each other out!

A compliment from a waving penguin - and the doctor said those anti-depressants, wouldn’t have a hallucinative effect!

Cheers Iain.
