Chris --

Congrats. It must have been a tremendous experience to be in the presence of one of the original contributors to the Viper concept and such a great man in American motoring sports.

Indeed it was Bruce. It was awesome!

I met him last year at the grand opening of the new Lineback Shelby/Panoz store in Plano. He was a really cool old guy! I took 3 or 4 pics with him. He kept having them snap another one because he wasn't smiling just right, or he thought he blinked. lol My brother lost the disposable camera.

Did you get to tell him that his new Cobra looks like a brick? For the real production version, Ford should buy the body back from AutoKraft. The 600hp part is cool.

I agree with the Freak above LOL ! The car desperately needs to put greater emphasis on the front fascia and less oomph on the fog lights. How many of us thought with the shell off that the car looked sexier?

Hahaha

Actually it has the makings for an awesome aftermarket body kit. It really won't take a lot to make it look extremely hot - just curve the bottom of the grille opening like the real Cobra, angle the doors and sills back and fatten the rear guards, add 5 into 1 side pipes, and extend the rear into a real Cobra ****.... then it would look like a retro Cobra with a modern theme - it'd be a must have alongside a Viper!

Nice pics!
He would certainly be on my list of people I'd like to meet!
