When you see a car go at speed on a video, it usually doesn't look fast (like the Indy 500 for example....or any F1 race), but I can feel the power watching that video. Cool !

By the way, does anyone know how much that Fairlane would weigh?

Since we're off topic on trucks for a moment, here's a cool video...but long....

YouTube - Shelby AC Cobra - Sa Calobra (Mallorca)

I like it with music, and I can still hear the enigne, but here it is again without the music so you can really hear the engine:

YouTube - Cobra racing up a narrow, twisty mountain road.mov

Says he broke 3 teeth of the diff crown gear during this run.......

Anyone notice the amount of oversteer whenever the driver applied the go-pedal?

You are referring to the Cobra vid? And how quick it accelerated up the steep mountain straights without effort?

And at high altitude -even with the 3 percent per 1000ft horsepower loss!

I only watched the Fairlane video. Is the cobra even more-so?
