I don't have a Cobra, but I do have a Beck Speedster that we built at the Carlisle, PA show in May of '06 (16 hours from 3 pallets to a drivable car). I've since driven the car from Charleston, SC to Carlisle, PA and back twice (~1600 miles round trip), and have driven it from Charleston to the Smokies to run the Tail of the Dragon (~1000 miles round trip), all without a breakdown. Do a thorough safety check beforehand, and carry a good set of tools and you should be fine. There's no reason that a well built kit car should be any less reliable than a factory built car.

By the way, we plan another Dragon Run this October. It'd be great to have a few Cobras along as well.
