EBruce,

I have also been doing a lot of research on this site and am in your same position. It is difficult to find a Cobra to ride in, much less drive. I am also looking at Backdraft.

I am heading to Vegas next weekend to rent a Cobra for the day. Although it is a low horsepower (250) Cobra and I am not sure of the builder, I fugured this was the best way to determine if the Cobra is right for me (and my wife). I believe it is the only rental Cobra in the U.S. It is a good excuse to head to Vegas for a long weekend.

Robert

Guys, there are huge numbers of Cobras in the Austin/DFW area...in fact, so many that if you post your search for a ride on the TCC forum, I bet you'd be inundated with offers (not that I am not willing...got your PM, EBruce, you have a reply )

Here's a link to the Texas Cobra Club forum:

Texas Cobra Club - Club Cobra

Be sure to take time to go to the Spring Fling down in the San Marcos area...well over 100 Cobras the time I was there. In addition, the club is active in providing support for Wounded Vets, IIRC there was enough donated to build a Cobra replica for a fund-raising effort (there was an accident in which the body was damaged, burned IIRC, but I think that was sorted, too...not sure if the project is completed).

Anyway, TX is full of Cobraphiles....and we're a pretty friendly bunch down here, always ready to share the joy with "new meat"...LOL!

Cheers! See ya, EBruce!
