A Teenager and His Swinger

Cool Dart! I bought my Dart at the age of 18. :-) I think that a dark interior is a good decision. In your case it works perfectly with the blacked out grille.

I don't know how the reputation of Cooper Cobra is in the U.S. but in Austria they are not known for performance and good grip, particulary in rain...

Just a example...
We have some cases with Cooper Cobra in the rain...


This 'Cuda (383c.i.) was fresh restored, but the track was wet...

In this video at the beginning you can see the start of the 'Cuda. The car has a sure grip and disc brakes, but had a lot of troubles to get the power on the road. Yeah, it's a BB and the weather condition were bad. The accident happend in the first corner...:sad7:

Within a few months there was a second accident in rain with a firebird.

Just my 2cents:
I personally think that they aren't the best tyres, especially in rain they are pretty bad... When you are not driving in the rain very often, they maybe are ok.

I used to have Falken. Great at cornering, but they weren't white letters. Now I have some uniroyal tigerpaw white letters mounted. They are pretty good - and my Dart hasn't a sure grip.

Greetings from Austria:)

I agree about the black. The white didn't really make sense to me, but it was already there...

This car won't be seeing any rain hopefully! I have friends that run Cooper Cobras and they've had good luck with them so far. Thanks for the concern though.
