Welcome, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your new toy. . . I'd like to add one more call for taking time to learn the Cobra. They can bite in ways you likely have not considered. For example, rapidly reducing throttle on a big engine in a light car can lock up the rear wheels just like brakes. And that can lead to a spin. . . My point is that if you want to learn to drive your Cobra near the limits of its performance I urge you to do it at a track or on an autocross course. You'll learn the unique demands of your car and the limits of the driver in an environment less likely to harm you or others. It will also give you a keener sense of how potentially dangerous an old style race car with NO modern safety features (e.g., antilock brakes) can be. These cars are fun, but they are also dangerous when driven aggressively on public roads.
