All advice will be much appreciated and valued.
Thanks in advance guys, my Cobra is due to be ready in November. tin-man

The simplest advice to be given is that when you are driving the car, think of it as walking on a smooth sheet of ice with a pair of leather soled penny loafers on.......Every step you take in the car should be cautious, smooth, simple in nature so that you do not fall (in your case crash) and kill yourself or someone else around you. 600HP in your first Cobra, even with an automatic transmission seems a bit overboard, but hey, it's your dream/money/life so I won't go into that aspect further........Also, regardless of whatever other driving experience you have (cars, venues, etc), a Cobra is unlike any other vehicle you have driven (unless you have driven formula fords in the rain without rain slicks on
)......Treat the car with respect, or again, it will kill you.
