Back in college in the early 80's I restored a '71 mach 1 and showed it heavily. I knew the Cobra was a real expensive little car but had never seen a real or replica one. At some point a guy started showing up to the local shows with a replica 427, big block and all. I managed to get a ride in it once. It still recall admiring the 3 inch racing belt and clasp, and the lack of foot room around the massive bellhousing. During my one and only ride, I remember the huge noise and that my neck muscles where not strong enough to hold my melon upright during the ferocious acceleration. Hooked!

From then on my friend, who went to a lot of the shows with me, and I always dreamed of owning a Cobra. We always had scoffed at the idea of owning a kit car, with exception of the Cobra, it was the only car legitimately worth owning as a kit car.

Fast forward almost 20 years, as I slip into the passsenger's seat of a demo SPF at Dynamic Motorsports....my neck muscles are still weak.
