I just finished 2,500 miles in my Cobra. I went from Miami to Houston and back. The trip was to the Pantera fun rally in the Houston area.

My Cobra has no top, so the heavy rain was interesting. The trip home was mostly dry. The only problem with the trip up was Louisiana, plus a slight drenching in Gainesville.

I have a Contemporary with a 428FE, a Toploader, and Goodyear Billboards. The Billboards shake at 35mph, and about 72mph. They only shake in the front, though. When I get a chance, I'm going to have them balanced to see if it makes a difference.

My ears are still ringing, and although I'm not sun burned very bad, I can still feel the heat.

I had several friends try to talk me out of buying a Cobra. They said the novelty would wear off, and the side pipes would get old after 30 minutes. If I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow, I'd be running around in the Cobra again. It never gets old.
