Ooops, I almost forgot---if'n you don't bring your'n, we'll have "my" Cobra ("mine" as of 6 days now) to blast around in---in addition to my 30' cutter, Rusty MacPherson's 16 CC runabout (Jamo's cards again) or even my 12' 1941 OB runabout---nothing airworthy though.

C'mawn down!

Default Re: Best Drive

My best drive was two months ago coming back from Sears Point on a curvey wine country "back road" sandwiched between two RT/10 Vipers and a group of other Cobras trailing. Most of us being ex-kart racers who drove karts or ran motorcycles together as well...

It was a lesson in new vs. old technology on the curvey roads, but at the same time it was a lesson of the Ford FE in a light car vs. the Viper V10 in a heavier car; depending where we were...

Without power steering, power brakes, and a lazy boy recliner in my car, the Cobra held its own in the curves, but on the more open straights it was game over. On the pure fun factor side, it was much more raw and exciting to be driving the Cobra.

Default Best Cobra drive

April 2002, my first time to ever drive a Cobra. Eight days and 3516 miles across the country, and only spent a little over 500.00 on gas. I still cant get the smile off my face.
