JBo... where are you Jersey Shore-wise? I used to work on the Wildwood Boardwalk as a teen... although that was a loooong time ago.

I sure enjoy mine. Have about 28K miles on it now.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but it seems that most of the important AK players' eyes are already here:

Most of the AK Cobras I've seen have had their engine modified, like no smog equipment. Here in California, we couldn't register this car as a kit, so no SB-100. Do your respective states not require smog equipment? How are guys doing this?

Thanks,
rodneym

Many states cease smog checks or equipment inspection at 20 model years or so. I had a customer with a 1987 Fuel Injected MK IV in Ohio who had removed his convertors and installed a sweet Borla exhaust system, car passed Ohio inspection. In fact they did a sniff test for sh!ts and giggles and the car nearly passed that with no convertors!
