One does not have to push the limits to get the point across that this car is one you don't mess with. Been 120 mph on bike before and I have desire to do it again. I don't have an ego problem. I have no problem with them blowing past me. Because inside we all know the truth. By the way, love all the responses. Thanks.
Well, then what you should do is touch base with your local Cobra club and go to some of their get-togethers. That way you can see the different flavors of Cobras that are available. Then start putting together your wish-list, and your budget, and start speed-reading the threads that are on here going back years. If you have the funds, having a Kirkham or ERA custom built to your specs can't be beat. Buying used is, of course, much cheaper and can be just as rewarding. If you still have the fever in the spring, that's when a lot cars will hit the market. With a little luck, though, during that time you'll come to your senses and buy a Corvette instead.
