SPO2601 is in my garage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
It got here Tuesday mornin. It's gorgeous, If I could stop starin at it, I could take it for a ride. Actually, I'm waitin for the MSO papers to get here. Some sort of oversite. My hat's off to Intercity Lines. They did a wonderful transport job. Their driver, Richard, is great. I'm very glad I picked them. If the paperwork doesn't get here in the next-------3 minutes, I'm goina go get a 3 day trip permit and take some trips. Cya, Jerry:D

Congrats! Take it easy on those first few runs...that 496 is a lot of motor in a light package. These cars have a tendency to swap ends very fast. Post some pics!

A Cobra likes to swap ends with a 265 in3 engine. With a 496FE, sometimes the car has a tendency to flip over when started. :LOL: :LOL:

Take it really easy for the first hundred miles. Enjoy!

Cool! Put up some pics if you have time.

Welcome, you make a great choice.

Just keep your foot out of it until you have over 500 miles. That will give you time to grow together with you HIGH PERFORMANCE cobra, and keep it in one piece. I know how hard that is, but its a must do!

Hey norain
Where did you get your car transported from ? I'm looking for someone to haul from the East to the West.
Thanks

Hi, Garage10
 
Shipped from Ross Ohio. Intercity Lines did the transport. They did a great job and at a reasonable price. Hope this helps. Cya, Jerry:)

Congrats!! I just put mine on the road this past weekend. Performance engineering did mine too. They build a great motor.

Take it easy in the beginning, check the oil a lot in the beginning and ENJOY the ride!!

Many happy miles
 
Jerry,

You are going to be so pleased with the Superformance build quality and performance. You have just made a lot of friends here. Owners of all brands of cars.

One comment you will hear often is, please treat the car with respect. It can get away from you real quick. All it takes is one split second. Just be prudent until you get used to the car and its power. Believe me the power is intoxicating.

Again, congratulations and be extra careful with that beauty. Under the beauty skin lurks a monster.

Good luck with your new Superformance.

Juan
