Haha, I appreciate your collective plea to have my car delivered.. but c'mon - if you had a chance to drive your Cobra for the FIRST TIME in three days, would you risk a little adverse weather and go for it.. or have it trailered there and wait another month (if not until next spring) to drive it??? haha.. I know you all have an adventerous spirit to even own a Cobra in the first place.

If you decide to drive, be careful! Oh, one more thing, sometimes the fuel gauges on these cars are not all that accurate. With my motor I get about 12 mpg depending on how I drive, although we have nearly the same setup I think Eric is using a 750cfm carb now (650 on my motor) so your mileage may vary. I would use your odometer as a fuel gauge. Stop after 50-100 miles, fill it up and see what kind of mileage your getting, then you can use this as a guide as far as miles per tank that you can expect. Running out of gas on the highway on a cold rainy day would definitely fall into the "this really sucks" category!

John, wow you have great taste.
GREAT advice on the mileage, I forgot to ask about that. I will fill up the tank, drive 80 miles, and calculate my mileage. The tank is 17 gallons, correct? So I would expect about 200-300 miles per tank.
