At first I didnt like the inserts. I liked the fact that especially with black that someone really had to look at it to know it was a Cobra (lol so much for that)

), and the one's that don't will know what to look for to tell if it actually IS fast. About the only thing I could get away with without being able to tell would be nitrous or a blower, and that's only if I got a quiet one. However, ~400rwhp (which is what I would make on either of those options) isn't that much, and wouldn't put me in the "sleeper" category. So I'm just gonna have to deal with not quite having the bite to match my bark right now, and then make her bite harder when I am able to. Sometimes you just gotta let a dog bark a little...

If you have a blower than puts you at ~400rwhp, it's gonna whistle loud enough to let the world know you're coming, and in my opinion 400rwhp still isn't enough to be a real street-fighter. Maybe in a fox-body, but not in my car. I'm not saying this about every car... but my car in particular. It's like the anti-thesis of a sleeper (and it's not even fast yet)
Pete - I'll call you tonight. Haven't spoken with Billy, but he did say on Saturday that he would have it done about the 19th and promised to have it done b4 the 24th (my b-day).
