Yep, strap in tight and get ready. It's really hard to describe the first drive. For me, it was kind of surreal. Couldn't believe I was actually driving it. The rumble kept reminding me I was. I had to stop for gas, and I stood there at the pump staring at it for a while.
On the serious side, go easy your first time out. The Cobra takes some getting used to. It's probably much faster than anything you have ever driven. With the short wheelbase and cold roads, it may be twitchy. It's rough and raw, but that's one of the things I love most about the car!! It's an experience like none other. The thumbs up from people are OK, but the sheer driving fun is even better. Have a great time and look forward to seeing the car soon!!
