Wow ... what a beautiful Cobra ... the wizards at New Britain have done it again! Well worth the wait to get exactly what you want, I'll bet it drives as good as it looks.

I would guess you are hoping for a mild winter ?

Well, the "easy 500" rule is still good to heed. The "drive it like you stole it" crap is just that, crap. Even though the engine might have been broken in on the dyno, there's still a lot of other parts that need to mate and break in. Not to mention the driver needs to get broken in as well.

Looks great, and you painted it the right color. Side pipes too. Seems you made the right choices and you won't regret them. ERA is the best, and if something goes wrong somewhere, they'll stand behind you to solve the problem. This is the Cobra you keep for life.

Default thanks Ray

The minute it rolled off the truck...I had that everything and more feeling!...unfortunatly in the northeast we have been getting a little snow so its just been sitting under cover in the garage....every night i've been peeking under the cover just admiring it...I've got to get through the Mass reg process first then i'll be able to take some rides
