John, I am a true believer that the best education you will ever get is seat time. I am lucky enough to have a few different areas in which I can push the car to the point of loosing control, so I know what my car is capable of and how to bring her back to control. If you ever get in a situation where you do loose control, there is not usually enough time to think about what you need to do, your instincts have to kick in. So any word on when you will be back in AZ?

Hi Mark, thanks for this, your are correct the only way to experience this is thru seat time and I intend to do just that extensively when I get my Cobra. I also will get some professional driving instructions from Bondurant. That said I am very much interested in hearing from the members what they have experienced, such intel is priceless.

Regarding your AZ comment, I'll be back in Phoenix sometime in June to get the Cobra registered and I plan on retiring at the end of this year. I am finally coming home. Yeah.

Cheers, John
