'Naja evolvere' with wire knockoffs
This is 'Naja evolvere' (the 'evolved Cobra') with 17 inch Dayton (Triple Cross) 100 spoke wire wheels (true knockoffs). The base coat is a pearl white, and it has subtle, ghosted graphics on the hood and truck (and another image under the hood). I built the car to 'explore the envelope' with what is possible to do with a Cobra (at a reasonable - ??? - price) - not just the common (no offense intended) 427/428, 5/7 gauge, Guardsman blue with Wimbledon white stripes Cobra. (If the above is what you REALLY want, then I congratulate you - vive la differance!).
Naja is very heavy at 3200 lbs. (fully loaded), but makes for a TERRIFIC road car (which is what I wanted). It has a 533 cid, programmable EFI engine, C6, a/c, cruise, tilt, stereo/CD (for when you stop), 13 gauge functions, power steering/brakes, sidepipe shields - everything that a Cobra is NOT supposed to have.
It is a West Coast model, being longer and wider than standard. This set of wheels takes 235/45/17 fronts and 285/45/17 rears - Bridgestone Potenza 730s (very aggressive 60k tires).

"Burn Out" by R.C. Martindale
This montage was done by my Son Ray from video footage he shot of me showing off. It is my favorite Windows background in it's full sized original form.
The stripes and emblem background is actually a close up of the car and the pictures are overlaid on it. Pure ingenuity and creativity. He completed it January 31, 1998 after several days work.

She's BEAUTIFUL ! The titanium "ghost" stripes will appear clearly in low light or at night under artificial light! The interior and sidepipes, stereo, softtop fitting, and some trim work are left as of 11-12-02

10" PS Engineering Wheel
On the rear I have polished 10" PS Engineering wheels with polished SS knock-offs. The tires are 305/50X15" BF Goodrich Euro T/A's. The wheel edges were machined to make more area to polish, and the centers were painted White Pearl to match the car's stripes.

8" PSE FIA wheels on front
On the front of my ERA FIA, I have 265/50X15" BFG T/A's mounted on 8.0" PS Engineering wheels. The wheels were machined to provide more polished area, and the centers have been painted to match the stripes on the car. The knock-offs are polished Stainless Steel.

Cobies future
This is the latest color combo idea. Red to match the wheels and Silver stripes to match sidepipes and other trim items.
