what might be a realistic zero to 60 guesstimate

No offense taken, but please explain.

The reasons I believe I purchased this roadster .

I like Harleys but I don't like the thought of my flesh scraping against the pavement.

This seems the closest thing to a Harley-Davidson with less risk.

they always caught my interest even though I rarely see one in New Jersey on the road.

I'm going to be 52 in April if this was 20 years ago it would probably not be a good idea, but now hopefully I will not get too crazy with it.

I stopped at the Harley-Davidson dealer today matter-of-fact to pick up some s100 wax and leather treatment,and feel that I made the right choice risk wise. Bikes are just too risky here in Jersey lost a couple of friends over the years .

Dennis,

What I am talking about is on the thread" Buying first Roadster", All you cared about if it had a "loopy Sounding Idle".

This thread,
"o you mean to tell me that there is a chance that my car stands a chance of not getting spanked against my friends new ZR 1, that he just paid $115,000 for."

And other things on this thread it just seems like all you are interested in is "how fast will it go".

Seems to me that you are purchasing this car to impress people not because you really like Cobras.


Guess I could be wrong and like I said, if I am, I apologize.

Edit: What ever the reason I hope you have fun and enjoy your Cobra.

I'm very excited about my purchase, I would like to find out all that I can about this vehicle. and this forum has been super helpful.

I would really like to hear the reasons you have one, if it's off-topic PM me.

I actually asked myself am i getting this roadster to impress people, I can't really say no because this thing impresses me so much and I don't even have it in my possession yet.

Is showing the video of it to my friends and family and their excitement about me getting it really so bad ? I think it's wonderful and I am enjoying it and so are they.

I think competition comes into play with humans no matter what, Super Bowl Sunday :-)

I just try to keep it in perspective, I truly am the type that enjoys letting my friends use and enjoy any of my possessions and I look at competition to improve my own ability with all hobbies I have.

I do understand what you're saying.

but how could you possess an item like this and not be interested in its speed or uniqueness ??

don't mean to but in on you guys arguing about the shaft but wouldn't you rather bust a shaft then blow a rear or transmission?

And matter of fact I haven't heard anyone mention that they have blown a BDR rear or transmission at all.

isn't having the least expensive item the weak link proper design

same thing with me, always loved the Harley until I laid one down badly on my left leg. Pulled the trigger on a Cobra after ten years of searching, going to retire next year, then I'm gonna start living my teenage years all over again, but more wiser of course.

Time to shake up all my neighbors.

Enjoy your ride. tin-man
