That can't be Greg driving he wouldn't be sitting that high in the seat.

Trust me I am not much taller them him (maybe an inch) and I need a booster seat to sit that high in an old mustang.

Bad track car but a great street menace.

Have to agree with you Mike! That's one bad to the bone Cobra!


But my good -- far smarter than me -- buddy Mister Charley has talked me out of trying to race what is well known as a "wild one".... He's right of course... So I'm on the hunt for something that I can handle and have fun with -- without hurting myself or my pride!


LOL



EEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAA


But I'm tellin' ya --- that Cobra gives me night sweats!

From what i understand, its like a streetbike with four wheels and waaaay too much hp for what it weighs....i think its what we (us car guys) would call a "spinner" lol. All's i know is guys like Carol Shelby, back in the day, had balls of steel.
