Exclamation BA Cobra...

Just drove past work 10 minutes ago:
A white GT-P? with full blue stripes, "cobra" side skirts, cobra decals everywherea and the famous XC cobra logo on the boot. Big rims (18's) big brakes, big wing.

I'll get pics if he drives past again, I promise!

What the? Is this a very well-done mock-up or a genuine item?

More than likely it's a mock up. The most "genuine" it would get would be if it's a dealership special (what a pity eh!)

I think Maughan Thiem at Port Adelaide do them Pully!

By the way Pully, I did see you coming along Alexandrina Rd! I just couldnt wave in time once I figured out that I wasnt being flashed for a speed camera, or for having my driving lights on or something! Hehe.

There are some "genuine" ones around (i say " " cos while theyre not Cobras, theyre not just rebadges BA's either, they are worked), so it quite likely the one you saw was one.

There was one at Eastern Creek when the V8Supercars were on. I should have taken a photo. I think you could win it.

I like it, but having both sets of stripes is a bit much. Delete the side stripes and she'd be a stunner.

I totally agree with that. No side stripes. And make the thing a bit less ricey - there are better aftermarket wheels than those and Im not mad keen on that wing, but yes, for a stripe hater, I do quite like that!

daaaayum. The one in Mt Barker (SA) has vinyl on the roof rather than airbrushing though.
