It's hard to believe but we just finished our October issue and summer isn't even over yet. This issue has a "Racecars for the Street" theme and includes some awesome cars that you won't see anywhere else. Significant among those cars is the new FII Roadsters' intriguing car built on Shelby Series I chassis. Steve Temple reports on the build and the driving experience with some first-hand insight into the origins of the ill-fated chassis. We also have a feature on the Superlite line-up of awesome cars from Race Car Replicas. I won't spoil it but that's just a couple of the features presented in our October issue. It will be heading for mailboxes on Aug 9 and be on the newsstand Aug 30.
Here's a look at our latest issue that should be winging its way toward subscriber mailboxes as this is being posted. It will hit the national newsstand on or about August 31. We found some very cool stuff that will appear in this issue, not the least of which is an interesting look at GM's new E-Rod, emissions compliant engine package. We also found a twin-supercharged Unique Cobra replica that mimics the Shelby that sold for $5.5 million at auction. There's also a story in here covering a neat Se7vens event in Texas, a hot new exotic designed by Zagato from the makers of Superformance and coverage of the London Cobra Show among many more feature stories. Hope you'll enjoy what we've assembled. Stay tuned.
Here's a little preview of the April issue that we just finished. It is scheduled to hit the newsstand around March 2 and in subscriber's mailboxes a bit before that. The emphasis in this issue is engines. We've included a guide to kit car engines that includes 30-some offerings. We also have a couple of Spotlights on significant mills plus a bunch of cool cars with varying powerplants. We've also got the usual offerings of news, new products and other features.
Well, it has certainly been a long time since I posted something here. I guess my other duties have taken precedent. At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. I'll try to do better. Here's a little preview of the February 2010 issue, our annual Cobra Guide and it's chocked full of snake stuff to be sure. This issue also has a bunch of non-Cobra info too and some cars that will surely turn your crank. This issue is set to hit the newsstand on Jan 5, 2010 though subscribers will probably have it in hand by now or very shortly. In among all the Cobra features is a story on a very special aluminum Kirkham, a new Track Day car from Backdraft, an awesome 289 Street car from ERA and a complete guide to more than 30 snake builders. We also show you how a new 408cid Keith Craft V-8 goes together, a cool Belaro convertible and some wet-and-wild action from this year's Run 'N Gun. In short, this is a must have if you haven't seen it already.
