Nice! It appears that the actual run was made with different tires than the garage shots.

I have over 8 years of winter (snow covered roads) driving in my SPF as a daily driver. The 9th winter was the last. I lifted too quickly in about 2" of snow and the engine compression put me in a spin in the blink of an eye. Did a 180 spin and went backwards into the side of a hill, ending up drivers side down. The body damage was minimal, but it took a lot to correct the effects of 8 years of salt on the chassis (just ask the guys at Olthoff Racing)!

Now that my SPF has been rebuilt, it is unlikely that it will see that much salt again.

Winter driving in the snow with a Cobra IS exciting!
