This borders on armed and extremely dangerous
These cars are meant to be driven so enjoy the hell out of all of it. Not just the look of it when its all cleanCS

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs.It's jolted by every pebble on the road

That's kinda' funny. I remember in the mid to late '60s when Allstate created a blacklist of cars. The top of the list was the 427 Cobra.

The policy is that they wouldn't write a policy on a car that had a ration of 10 to 1.
Weight v hp.

I am suspicious as to why I haven't seen a resurgence of that policy?


With a thousand hp, what does the ratio work out to on that? 3 to 1? Yikes! It must be like driving on ice all of the time?
