In 1995 I took delivery of my R Model Cobra, trailered it out to my local 1/4 mile track, and took the first of 4 passes with 8 miles on the odometer.

BINGO.




I agree with that as well... And I don't really see where I've fallen into the "mine's bigger than yours" bashing category either... I've attempted to be as objective as I can.

Maybe, but... What about all these 117-118 traps for the ZL1?? Car & Driver just retired it's long-term-test CTS-V wagon, and if my memory serves, it trapped at 119mph both when new and at 40K miles.
