Tony,

Oh no, there are plenty of us who have regularly driven our Cobras in the snow. The trick is to wear layers so you can add or remove as your elevation and temperature levels change. My professional advice on this is to limit it to less than 6 inches if you want to keep your oil cooler scoop intact....Ask me how I know .......

As far as the Rousch engine, it should run flawless all the way up to redline. WIth your elevation changes, the fuel injection was the right way to go and should provide you years of trouble free useage......


Again welcome to the madness, your life will never be the same
