What a monster Sergio. Gotta love the supercharger look too! Beautiful. Looks like you missed the 2007 window to claim her as an income tax dependent though. (;

Got any piccys of the finished dash? I'd like to see what you finally ended up with. I remember when you were going to have a sliding panel reveal over it. Did you follow through with that?

Look fantastic!! Love the mean looking low stance provided by the racing windshield and black paint. How about some interior and engine bay shots?
Congratulations!!

Excellent!!!!!!! They look so much better without the full windshield and I love the black too. Knight Rider should have chosen this for the new KITT.....

Sergio
Your car is HOT!!! I can't wait to see it in person at Knott's.
Congrats!!!!

Sergio, congrats on being the first on the 2008 list (ok, moderators do have their privilages!)
I can still remember your first motor insertion into a new MkIII chassis. I think FFR learned SO MUCH from your endevours and ingenuity. The bubble-top is a reminder of the early challenges you faced.
However, I think we'll have to nickname SuperCobra "black hole" because I swear in all of the photo's, it just absorbs all the light; I think your camera automatically adjusted itself to "night-time mode"!
Have Kouros visit with his camera and revisit those spots again. A number of them would all make POM. Just my wooden nickle in the pot.
Again, CONGRATS buddy!

That is one awesome looking car!! Can you swap out to a normal widshield as an option? Do you (and pax) need to wear goggles of full face helmets with that widnshield?

CONGRATS!!
Cheers, Rod
I hope so - imagine if a rock hit you while travelling 60mph!
I don't think it is illegal to use a windscreen like that on the streets, it is however very uncomfortable having the wind, bugs or rocks hit you in the face at 60-70 MPH, imagine that on long trips !,
so I use a Motorcycle helmet:
This car will never sell for the sum of it's parts.
IMHO
Every once in a while a car graduates that transcends the sum of it's parts. Garage Freaks car is a great example. Well, there's always room at the top of the mountain and VenomXS now joins the ranks of the truly evolutionary builds.
30 Years for now, can you imagine the resale value of this car?
