Hi guy.. I was at ERA today and your car looks great. You got the color right and I have the same side pipes. Mine's in there with Doug trying to chase the electrical gremlins out of it and a couple of other small things. I noticed plates on the car.. you have it registered already or just temps. I live about 10 minutes away from ERA so anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Looking for good weather and cheap fuel!!!

Well it's about time. They always speed up a bit when the Holidays are just around the corner.... Congrats. Remember to take it really slow for the first 500 miles or so.

Kevin,

Congratulations !!!

Wow ... what a beautiful Cobra ... the wizards at New Britain have done it again! Well worth the wait to get exactly what you want, I'll bet it drives as good as it looks.

I would guess you are hoping for a mild winter ?

- Tim

Well, the "easy 500" rule is still good to heed. The "drive it like you stole it" crap is just that, crap. Even though the engine might have been broken in on the dyno, there's still a lot of other parts that need to mate and break in. Not to mention the driver needs to get broken in as well.

Looks great, and you painted it the right color. Side pipes too. Seems you made the right choices and you won't regret them. ERA is the best, and if something goes wrong somewhere, they'll stand behind you to solve the problem. This is the Cobra you keep for life.
