Darren, beautiful car and great pics!  Your paint color, those checkerd flags, the wheels - it all works on your car!
How about some observations after putting on some miles? Likes,dislikes, things you would of done differently?

Thanks Matt.  There are only a few things I would have done diffrent.  The clutch is a bear to push in.  I used a ram clutch and wish I would have researched the different companies out there and required less effort to disengage the clutch.  I am told center-force clutches has a lighter effort.  Thats my only major dislike so far.  I will uprgrade to the wilwood brakes front and back for perormance and looks.  The rear brake rotors look real small with the large 17" wheels.  I spun the March billet pulley on my alternator. New pulley lock-tighted on.{good fix}  This cobra is everything they said it would be and more. From fueling it up to having people wave and smile.  Had a few ask what year of corvette it was?????  Not everyone is a car nut so I just smiled and told them what it was.  I will post more pics of future drives. 8-)  Darren

Just an awesome weekend.  Put the cobra in its 1st car show.  We pulled " BEST OF SHOW".  Talk about being jacked..  There was approx 110 real nice cars.  This came as a total shock due to there being some unreal nice cars.  It seemed like a magnet was pulling everyone over to My HURRICANE.  Just wanted to share.  D Wright.

Darren, as I mentioned regarding your showing at the (Superformace show-photo #21)...your car is SOOOO-NICE!   ;)

I love the checkers on the side..thinkin of doing something like that on my care to jazz it up a bit.


Very Cool Car,  Bill   ;D
The trouble with people is not that they don't know , but that they know so much that ain't so.
