I'm about 5 - 6 weeks away from my first Superformance Cobra drive. I can't wait
Can you share any unique characteristics to driving a cobra. I have only been out for a total of 20 minutes on 3 separate occasions. (Dynamic Motorsport's Superformance test cobra). I want to avoid reinventing the wheel so to speak? ex. careful on wet roads...never do this....etc.
Also, is there any must have accessories that I should buy? Does one really need a fire extinguisher? Is it more for show? I did get 4 point safety harnesses and will purchase a car cover...anything else?..Still contemplating a fuel cell.
Lastly, how does one handle a flat tire scenario especially on a Sunday joy ride in the middle of no where?
Congratulations on your new car!!
I've had SP01735 for 2 months now and I have a House of Cobras 418 also.
Stay off of wet roads....too much clean up after the drive.! Secondly, with over 500 hp,. you'll want to get very familaiar with the motor and car before you go banging gears. Remember, respect, respect, respect. I took a friend out for a ride a few weeks ago and got shifter happy at red line and banged 2nd gear. Serious case of the rear end wanting to come around. Dip in to the throttle a little slower.
Keep a fire extinguiser with you. Last thing you want to witness is your car melting away as you stand by watching. Finally, keep a cell phone and a list of club memebers that you may have the luxury of calling for help if you should break down. Buy some aerosol flat fix and a 12 volt tire pump and keep in the trunk. Oh, make sure your wife or significant other is well equipped with 12 volt heat blanket, a hat that stays on. Enjoy!
