I've read all of this thread before, but I never really contributed to it before, as I don't often post here.

However, I thought I'd just bring that average age done a few notches.

I think I might be the youngest member at the cobra forum and club cobra...at 19 years old. I have basically been interested in cars all of my life.
I worked a state park in Indiana where the Shelby Auto Club met once a year. There were all kinds of mustangs, etc., but there were also usually 10-15 cobras there each year. One guy that came every year actually had an
original 427. While I was browsing the parking lot during my break, I noticed that guy with the long mustache from My Classic Car. He was interviewing the owner of the original 427. The guy started the car and revved it a couple of times, then shut it off. After the interview was done, I walked up to the owner and asked him all about the car. After talking to the guy for about 20 minutes, he asked me what I had been waiting
and hoping to hear..."well son, have you ever taken a ride in an original cobra 427 before?
"...I ummmmm.... said no. He then got in the car and told me to hop in. I couldn't wait!
The ride was like nothing else I've ever experienced. The noise, smell, snapping of my
neck, and oh those hot feet you get from that engine!
Anyway, that's why I'm in the process of getting a FFR kit. Luckily I will have the help of my father over this coming summer to complete the project. Hopefully be next school year's beginning (I'm a sophomore mechanical engineer at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology), I'll be pullin' up in a black and silver 460 powered cobra.

Well, I hope the thread keeps going. There seems to be a lot of new members here and at the cobra forum.

P.S. What is the average age now? (I would calculate it, but I just got done taking 16 hours of final exams..)
