    Great looking ride Rob! Factory Five do a nice job. That will be a lot of fun on the track! Hope to see you down there over the holidays.

    Phil - I may try and make it out there next weekend (Dec. 29-30), we certainly need to plan a play date. My 911 will be unavailable but the Cobra should arrive by then. I hope its not cold, no windshield on that car!

    Nice Cobra, who does it belong to? I will want to add a passenger seat at some point, giving rides is part of the fun of being at the track. We can even drag Jim out of his wine cellar and invite him along for a ride, provided he can put down his Cuban long enough to get in the car. :)

    Incredible addition Rob. I need to make it out there. I'll try to see if I can drag TexasMike out to take some shots in the near future.

    Congrats, Rob!!! Have fun! Hopefully I'll be able to squeak up to DFW sometime in the New Year to watch it/you fly around MSR.

    Again, congrats!!

    That shouldn't be too hard. :)
    I should be getting a new lens in a day or two as a present. I hope it's big telephoto lens.

    Congrats Rob! Those look like a lot of fun!

    Then my statement of 'Nice Cobra' should be considered for understatement of the year.

    Spec Hp rating is 225 and it weighs 2450 lbs with driver and ending race fuel. Here is a full listing, the only change being that the tires for the 2007 Challenge Series with be Toyo RA-1.

    http://www.ffrchallenge.com/specs.html

    No idea how well or how long mine will run, it was a donor engine from a 1990 Mustang GT. I will dyno it right away and see where I am at. New crate engines are less than $1,500 if I have a problem, or about the same cost to replace the bubbling center console piece in the F355. :)

    If Jim brings his Cuban I will install a McLaren style third seat.

    My cuban will already be installed and will have no need for a seat. :D
