Ownership experience of a cobra

[Hal Copple]

i have owned my SPF four nearly four years, and living in Upstate SC, i can and do drive it every day, including about 800+ race course laps, and 75+ quarter mile runs. I was up in near freezing weather today to my builder, the Olthoff's in NC, sprinkled a tad, but not enough to bother me, top off of course. Put about 140 miles on #672 today, came home in the dark.

I have about 65,000 miles on my car. Tough as nails, reliable as sin, and i just love driving it every day. I can't think of another car this reliable, this formidable, this exciting. I too thought long and hard for years about what i wanted, and narrowed it down to a '65-67 'Vette or a Replica. But i kept thinking that if i were at a stoplight, sitting in some other car, and saw a guy sitting next to me in a Cobra Replica, i knew that i would envy that guy and his car.

I finally accepted this, and got my SPF. My point is that at some point, i will have to hang up my car keys for the last time, and i want to be sure i lived my road days as i really wanted to. Driveng my Replica. I simply never ever get bored driving my Superformance. And it has never ever let me down.
