Overall, I am very happy with the way the cobra runs. It runs just like a regular street car with no idling/surging problems. It doesn't run hot and all that HP with full A/C running.

I am glad that I am finally back in the states where I can enjoy the car and my hobby again. Kids really like driving the stangs and going to car shows, meets & greets, and cruises.

It looks great! Have you ran the 1/4 with her yet? If so, what did she run?

Haven't ran the 1/4 yet, got the car done when the track closed.

I am not sure I will run it. I am contemplating maybe a new 2013 Shelby next year, so if I go that route, I won't race this car. I will sell it for a down payment on a Shelby.

Clearly, a great looking stable you have, but you are missing a classic and S197 Mustang!
