Pros: This is by far the best ever Cobra replica ever built. All other kit owners are envious pigs and will forever be my b1tches.
Cons: nothing at all wrong with my ride.
Comments: see "Pros"

With 920 horsepower I am wondering if it has more than 8 cylinders  |

Ya, that was my car Rich...I have a lot going on, some good, some bad so I have a full plate..bottom line is I am not jonesing right know and especially with winter looming I can wait. I waited this long so realistically another 3-4 months is a non-issue. I have other toys to hold me over!
GT-40...hmm that sounds like a plan.
You know I have a couple of things in my head for "next cars"...
1. Sell my Boxster S and get a 911 4s convert...
2. Kirkham
3. Viper
4. Shelby Series 1
I never say never, in my crazy business it's feast or famine...Not in feast mode right now but it will come back like everything else...

Frank. A Viper coupe would go nice next to your ERA.
Todd. Will take you up on that some time.

OK... I took a stab at the first review. I can tweak later if need be. Post your thoughts here, not on the review thread so we keep it clean and readible.

I recently purchased a Backdraft Cobra, it has plenty of leg room, the carpet work is excellent, the independent real suspension is great, car rides very nicely...look at the Prism Red Backdraft at Greater Cincinnati Performance cars...polished Roush 427R, that's what I have and believe me it is all the car you will want...this advertisement from an old drag racer....remember nobody ever got sick from smokin their tires.....

I'm running one of the Tornado turbo swirly things in my intake plus some serious porting on my iron heads. For $29.99, you too can realize your wettest dreams.

Thanks Jamo,
Is it possible to set this up as a template? That could be filled in on posting, and would eliminate the general comments issue in the thread and keep it clean. Maybe even set it up so that it parses by manufacturer, or at least categorizes by manufacturer.
Also, I wonder where it should reside on this site to be of the greatest value to the newbies... but that is for you moderator types to decide  !
Thanks for hearing our ideas. |
