Detroit Bill,

Likely a similar story to many. Got to respect the power and understand the ramifications of a short wheel base car. From a rolling start jumped on the Cobra, hit second and the back end came around and I was driving in the opposite direction! Fortunately it was on an industrial road at 6am and no traffic. Once is enough!

BTW, check out Great Lakes Cobra Club - we'd love to have you join the group!! Great Lakes Cobra Club, Great Lakes Cobra Club
