I was about to head out to Brothers Performance yesterday for the big sale and to get a new dyno of the Cobra, well it didnt happen :cuss: .
I was in the garage and tried to start the car but heard a ticking (not clicking like a low battery)and then the electronics quit. I opened the hood and tapped the battery the car started fine and I was happy
. then I turned it off and tried again, it stumbled but it sarted. good enough I thought, but just as I started it again the wife walked into the garage and asked why my battery is smoking and sparking WTF? She started it so I could watch; well the + side of the battery did smoke and sparked about 2 inches high. And I heard some more ticking around the back right of the engine comaprtment (starter maybe?). Anyone have this happen? I am strapped right now so I am not taking it to a shop. Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has expeienced this. BTW I still went to BBK and got some BBK (gripps) subframes for my car at 75 bucks :thumbsup: I saw a Black notch back, witha aftercooled Vortec pull a 460 something RWHP dyno pull. I dont know if anyone beat that but it was badass. I have seen him pull 11.60's at Cali Dragway. Nice F'ing car.
