2001 Laser Red Ford SVT Mustang Cobra Convertible
My Cobra is primarily a street driven. It never sees rain or snow. I take it to local cruise nights in the summer, occasional Mustang Car Shows, and Open Track Road Course High Performance Driving Events (HPDEs).
I began modifying the Cobra car so it would perform better on the Open Track Road Courses, but I didn't want to sacrafice it's street driveability. My goal was to have a dual purpose car. The track requires convertibles to have a roll bar installed, so I decided to get one that I could bolt-in for when I go to the track, but take it out when I didn't need it. This process usually takes me a couple hours to do, which I do not mind.
