I believe this to be true with any performance car, cobra or otherwise.

The single biggest drawback right now is the car is being assembled in California and I am in China, I can't even take a peek at what's happening other that at a picture. Thus the angst is excrutiating. Roush supplied me with the sound during the dyno test and the engine started with a roar like a lion, no kidding, thus the Beast was born. Oh well, I have only got 26 days and ten hours to go, but who's countin"?  John, AKA, tin-man
