( there is some 'ode to the cobra' that i thought was excellent) They don't call it "driving a legend" for nothing..
Keep up the great work at KMS...I'm saving, saving and saving..

You are most kind. I think there are several guys on this very site who are every bit as knowledgeable as we are. We have been fortunate to deal with some very, very smart guys in the industry who have been most forthcoming with their knowledge over the years--we only stand on their shoulders and hope to see a little further.

The car we are making will still have all the lure of the Cobra. It will be a hot, smelly, uncomfortable, most intimidating beast that demands all of your attention while being driven. That really is the undeniable lure of these cars. We wouldn't (and couldn't) change that.

One day we hope to have you as a customer.
