I'm sure you will enjoy the new car- you can always play with the handling to get it how you like it.I never autocrossed any of my Cobras as I have a Locost like yours but mine is Yamaha powered and is not competitive in BMOD but is good for local events. Any luck selling the old Del car? Rich

Congratulations on getting your Cobra. As for some not liking the color or the 8 stack don't worry about them. It doesn't make any difference what you get there are always going to be some that have something to complain about it not being right. As long as you are happy with the car that is all that counts as you bought it for you and your enjoyment. Have fun and enjoy the car.

Thnaks Ron! I belong to the Studebaker Driver's forum too and some go on about an incorrect battery tie down. Truth is probably a majority of the Studes still on the road are Chebby powered.

My 39 Stude has a Mercedes turbodiesel with a five speed manual od trans.

(I'm not afraid of being different

I have had interest but it is still for sale at the moment. In the market for the fastest D mod in the country? I currtntly have it listed in the scca forum and on racing junk .com.

I like yours. is the yammar equipped with a shaft drive output on its tranny? Then what are you using for a rear end?
That thing must be a fly weight and very quick!
