Hello,
Sandy (my wife) and I had an article written in the most recent addition of Kit Car Builder magazine. Tells a funny story about Thunder (our 427 build) and us. Speaks of relationships and "truisums" of car guys and the relationship with their cars. I met the author, years ago, at a New Jersey car club. He's a crazy writer by trade. We thought it funny, give it a read. Goes to show - these Cobras are emotional, not your everyday muscle car. We're on our 6th year and I'm still in love.
Guru
Is there a link for the story?
Enthusiast
Yeah, I'd love to read it. Don't always catch that mag in the stands.
Guru
I don't know of a link. Assume that would require Kit Car Builder to offer a digital subscribtion? I guess I could scan the article and post as a picture. Would that work?
Also, there's a write-up about Unique Motorcars in the same issue.
Guru
Yes, post it. Tease us with a good story and then not post the story, well that's just wrong!
Guru
This is the article I spoke of.
This is from Kit Car Builder - February 2012

Pretty funny stuff... so what's the real story?

Cool story, but really let someone drive your Thunder?!
Guru
I figure anyone under 25 wouldn't live to see the sun set if they got behind the wheel of mine, and not because I killed them, the car would do that.
Guru
Boy, you got that right. Cobras are not for everyone. First thing I was taught was not to stab the throttle unless the wheels are straight. They're like little missles - just point and shoot.
Cannot wait to get her out of the trailer - hurry up Springtime!

Check the video. Note that when the Mustang passed the Camero it was going about 100 mph faster. That Camero is no slouch as it does a 1/4 in under 10 seconds and 150 mph but in the video it looks like it's going about 50 mph.
