Things are progressing
I am thoroughly enjoying the Cobra. One of this things I am enjoying the most is owning a car I can work on. The last time I owned a car I could work on I was ~22 and it was a SS396 Camaro I bought when I was 17. I have a list of things I want to accomplish.
I have thoughly enjoyed driving the car. I Have never owned a convertible. I guess I still don't, I did not buy a top. Open air adds to the experience for sure.
I have limited my antics to a straight line for now. I have driven a lot of fast cars and motorcycles and I am limiting the potential for crazy. Today I did pull a gear to redline for sure. The power curve is amazingly linear. It feels like it pulls from 2500 to 6000 without pause. I am not used to that kind of power curve. It makes it hard to know when to shift by sound. Day One and two I shifted by sound and when I finally looked down I realized I was shifting at 4,500 rpm! LOL..
Today I sprayed on fender splats with Plastic Dip. A spray coating that can be peeled off. Pretty easy stuff to work with the difficult parts is that you can't tape it off and spray 4 coats. You have to spray a coat wait a few minutes and peel the spray line. It is a PIA but knowing it is temporary make it a bit less of a pressure thing. I did flat black and it looks good with my color scheme.
Anyhow I have some video going I am experimenting with the best camera and microphone position. When I get it dialed in I will share.
