I finally got my car! Yippee!!!! Drove from Tucson to New Hampshire last week to get my Contemporary from Nick Acton. Since I had never been behind the wheel of a cobra before I drove it up and down his driveway for a few hours to get comfortable with the car. To back track, before I could drive it I had to pull out the drivers seat so I could fit in it!!!! (I'm 6' 5" and 280lbs) With the seat out and and a bar stool cushion on the floor I fit in the car great, even with the hard top on! I know Nick has a few pics, perhaps he can post them. In the 4 days I was in NH driving the car around and working out the bugs I logged close to 600 miles!!!! I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!! If I were able to I would marry it! The car is stupid fast, the steering is razor sharp, and it handles like a dream. The ride is harsh to say the least, hitting a road reflector feels like I've run over a boulder, but that is to be expected considering the heavy duty jag suspension. After reading this forum the last few years I was expecting a white knuckle ride where the car was always trying to run off the road, but it handles very nice, no tracking or going where I don't want it to, even one handed. The front wheels need balancing, they get that out of balance shimmy between 95 and 110 mph. Bottom line, after wanting a cobra my whole life and after searching for one some what seriously the last three years, I feel like all of my expectations were surpassed and I couldn't be happier!!!

PS...I towed the car back home with a dolly and she is now safe at home with me in Tucson.
