    Black Mamba Post sale update

    So...owning a cobra is pretty funny some times....

    I sold the car to a GREAT guy... have never met him but through several emails and text's I found out that we have similar likes - we have the same type of dog, he loves racing and always wanted a cobra....While I am still missing that car, I know it went to the right guy.... he is a big Viper guy and does a lot of open track racing apparently... so initially I thought he was just gonna use the car to cruise around in since he already has purpose built Vipers.... Over the last month he has sent me many pictures of him cruising down the coast.... really making miss my car...lol... but cool to know it is getting driven....

    Well this weekend he send me a few more pics.... he did have one small issue with the shifter relocation...but it was repaired and the weekend at the track continued....here a few pics and a quick vid of the car on the out lap..... sooooooo cool... the car looks so good and I am glad that it is out there....

    one of these things is not like the other



    yeah, I would say the tires are getting a work out.

    Erik-

    Still love the Mamba; she is an absolute beauty! You did an amazing job, and I understand why you miss her. I don't know if I could have sold her myself. It is so cool that she is in a good home though, and that you feel good about it. I am sure that adds a bit of comfort for you.

    I am very excited about the new build. I know it is going to rock!

    Regards,

    Steve

    Love this. I may just have to get out to Spring Mountain to go toe to toe with him. Sucks he got passed by a miata though. I'm sure he's just shaking her down.
