Default Re: New FS/XX Cobra Jet

Nice ride, but I'd look for a new name. X-15 is a museum piece and is no longer in service. It was carried to launch altitude by a hulking jet bomber and dropped to fire off it's rocket engines. Really fast for it's time but not a great metaphor for a killer drag car.


Cobras are among the deadliest snakes due to the large quantity of nerve toxin in their venom. Scientists rate animal poisons in a scale called Lethal Dose 50 (LD50) the amount of venom that kills 50% of the lab rats that get it. Maybe Lethal Dose?


EDIT: The SR-71 still holds the world record for man controlled air breathing aircraft.
