Very cool!

Please note, willing to sell highly modified 04 Cobra coupe for slightly less.

averaged 142 mph over 500 miles at a high-speed track in Texas where it was running on a set of Goodyear’s new whitewall Thunderbolt economy tires. --- glad that I wasn't one of the test drivers!!

crazy eh! I was looking at those tires in the pic and thought we had no fear back then - my '79 Trans Am was a sleeper with around 400hp on the factory 10year old Uniroyals and never gave it a second thought...lol
