Butcher's JBL with the 383 TNT For Sale at HOC

JblredThe Butcher's viper red JBL is with Dean at House Of Cobras and awaits a new owner. Many believe the JBL is the best engineered cobra racing chassis. There are only a handful of JBL's in existance. None of them have 600HP. The Butcher's 383 does not have 600hp...but its got 570! >) You might make the case that this is perhaps one of the fastest road race cobras ever build.

"We gave this car the Best Engineering Award at this years Run & Gun as it the most advanced chassis that we have ever seen. From a design standpoint, it stands above anything here. And it's track performance proved that we were correct in giving this award. This car is Awesome!"
Kit Car Illustrated, 1995 Run and Gun

"Even though you asked for 'first hand' experience, I thought that I would tell you what I found in my research for the best handling Cobra. My own car, a Superformance, holds the road pretty well on 17" low profile tires (~1 G), but there is another manufacturer's car with clearly superior specifications for lateral G's: JBL. If you look at the JBL suspension, and I have, you will see that it is unique among Cobras. The published specification is about 1.4 G's for lateral acceleration about 40 % better than I've found anywhere else among Cobra manufacturers".
Randy Klein

"The four fastest Cobras that I have ever put a stopwatch to out at Willow are: -A Shelby Spec racer, -Scott "Coyled"'s Hi Tech -Gordon Levy in a small block based FFR. -Chuck Miller in his 351w crate powered JBL Cobra"
Robert Evans

Robert Evan's comment talks about Chuck Miller's JBL as being one of the consistantly fastest cobras at Willow Springs. Chuck's JBL uses a bone stock ford 351 crate, rated at 385HP. Imagine the same cobra with even more power, using the 383TNT rated on the Westech Engine Dyno at 570HP@6800! Weeeee!
