Well...I have to say....they told me it was to be built the week of the 15th...and it was...and they told me it was to be delivered the week of the 22nd...and at 4:45pm today I got the call...ITS HERE!!! Obviously not enough time to close the deal...but enough time to get to the dealer and look my black Terminator over before they close. Packed up my 2 boys and away we went. They are no strangers to Cobras...they were in child seats in my 96 vert...old enough to appreciate my 99 vert...but this car took top spot with both of them as soon as they laid eyes on it. The salesman was very cool. It was parked at the back of the service lot hidden from public view. It had 6.6 miles on it which was right about what I predicted since the car haulers drop off their vehicles in a holding lot about 4 miles away. I told him I did not want just "anybody" driving my car from the holding lot to the dealership and he was cool enough to personally pick it up. He threw me the keys and a plate and away me and the boys went...our first journey in the 03. I was impressed immediately! No comparison between the road feel of the 03 to either the 99 or 96. The shifter felt great...did not have the rubbery feel...felt very crisp to me. My only concern was a slight rattle from the shifter when letting the clutch out in first....Ill wait and see how that develops...maybe it is normal?? We put 4.3 miles on her and tucked it away for the night. Cant wait till noon tomorrow when I show her the way home!! All you guys who have an ETA of this week...get ready...they are delivering on time!:beer:
