[QUOTE="Redfire_USMC, post: 13888890, member: 143181"] To be completely honest, there are plenty of cobras out there that I've ran into that have never been tracked (drag raced) but NOT been well maintained, vice versa, many cobras that have been well maintained but have also been tracked. In terms of what I would choose, it would be the latter. The biggest thing I'm concerned about with a car that has been dragged is I don't know the capabilities of the driver. The driver may have bounced the rev limiter like crazy in between shifts, or burnt out the clutch like crazy trying to warm up the tires. I just know that in a drag race, most, if not all try to push their cars up to their performance capacities. There is nothing wrong with this except for some owners who don't know how to do it well enough and push the car beyond what it's capable. With that, comes unwanted wear and tear internally and mechanically in general. It is just something that I personally prefer to stay away from. That being said, if I find a car that is in undeniably perfect mechanical and cosmetic condition with low miles, but has been tracked once or twice, NBD. But if I find a car in the same condition but has never seen the track, I'll take that one. :beer: [/QUOTE]
