I just wanted to post the pics to my new BDR Cobra. I can't tell you how glad I am to finally be in a position to own one. I have been trolling the websites including Cobra Country for 6-7 years. After all the reading that I have done, I chose to get a BDR. I have had alot of good input from all of the BDR's main dealers and the forum as well. I choose to have it built by Matthew May (Fastlane Performance) for several reasons. I can't express how pleased I have been with my choice of car and builder. Matt has produced one very fine and well sorted out BDR. His workmanship is amazing as well as his communication. He constantly kept me updated throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions, usually within seconds of sending them.
For anyone thinking of buying a Cobra, I don't think you will go wrong with a BDR from any of the dealers, especially Matthew May.
The car is a Monterey Red with Pearl white stripes BDR with Tan interior.
Factory options: Dual roll bar (planning to track occasionally and for extra passenger safety), Driver and passenger heater (completely hidden), Heated seats (to extend the driving season), 3M fender protection, Tremec TKO 600 .82, Quicktime bell housing, 17 inch true knockoffs, raydot passenger and driver mirror, and last but not least Roush 427 SR/TW fully polished.
Personal options: Red/Blue anodized engine fittings, complete stainless hoses, 6061 billet aluminum pull knobs, push button start, LED jet fighter flip switches.
I have had the car for a week and am about at 150 miles. In 102 degree heat, in stop and go 30mph traffic for one hour, the
oil temp was 90 (no
oil cooler) and temp was rock steady at 100. Performance is life changing.
Matthew May has taken the time to either thread lock the screws or to change out and add extra length to the bolts to double nut lock them to aid in less maintance, the additional buffing and paint prep that he has done is clearly demonstrated in the pic that shows the passenger side door of the car and you can see my reflection in about 3 diff places. The hidding of the heater and heated seat switches as well as his other touches truly helps define the car.
I would like to extend all a big thank you, especially the Tornado Alley Forum, as well as the rest of you who have given me such great input and advice, and I look forward to becoming a true cobra "member".
