Dick,

I should be on there. I used to be registered as "anil", but re-registered as "Cobra Dude" recently. I sent Brent Mills an email about how to switch the ID, but didn't get a response so I just went ahead and re-registered the new ID.

So here's my info -- Cobra is a CMC with a Pratt & Witney jet engine. No suspension as cornering is handled by hidden rudders and ailerons. It also has a few concealed jet engines in each bumper exhausting upwards. These ensure that the tires are forced to the ground so that it looks like a normal car when driving (wouldn't want to freak out people on the street!). Also, there are smoke generators in the rear wheel wells that get triggered when the vehicle is stopped or slow and engine thrust is high. This gives the effect of a nice smoky burnout. And then of course, sidepipes are really re-designed Bose speakers/subwoofers that play a dynamically-altered MP3 of a big V8.

Those of you who read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" may understand a piece of this.

So seriously -- what info do you need? Some info in my sig, but let me know what else you need.

BTW, perhaps this John guy has a hybrid. No, I'm not kidding -- I've heard of people who did not get a body from CMC and had to buy it from another kit company and retrofit to the CMC chassis.

Must get to sleep....
-Neil.
