Answers to a couple of Qs:
Our weather in the front range this time of year is kind of spooky. A week ago Tuesday and Wednesday it was almost 70. Tuesday/Wed this week it was -10 or so when I went to work. We can get 60 degree low to high swings. Oh, and the winds. Hurricane force 75+ MPH are frequent.
Snow: I told my wife when I was posting last night that I might be the only person to ever drive a Cobra in the snow. This was a dusting at about 2 inches. It was -7 when they delivered it and I swept the snow off the driveway. The driver wouldn't touch it, and he cautioned me about how goosy it was going to get. I drove it straight up with no problems (I've never owned a front wheel drive vehicle). He congratulated me. I was scared
The snow is all gone now and it's supposed to be in the 50's on Saturday. Co-pilot is scared of it but did ask when we could go for a ride (after I showed her the 5-point harness) and if the weather is nice I'm going to take it down to the Gunbarrell (CO) Shelby American Collection museum and ask Dave what he thinks.
I think I only want to make one mod. Is it possible to put in a removable steering wheel at this point? It would make it lots easier to get in/out.
Why this one: Well, there was a Steve Becker red with a Ford 427 but it was carbureted. I spoke with someone that had one originally and converted it to fuel injection because of the altitude. I set my bogey on this one at the difference and won. I got the C/F roller for free.
Does anyone have any experience with this Roush powerplant? It's a Tremec 5-speed.
Cheers!
