If you've ever dreamed of the sight of a 427SC Cobra roadster sitting in your garage, just waiting for you to strap yourself in and fire up the thundering, 500+ horsepower big-block engine, then this video is for you. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to pilot a Cobra around a racetrack like Mid-Ohio, Charlotte Motor Speedway or Gateway International, this video's for you. Or how about a 12-second sprint down the quarter-mile? 'Bitten by the Snake' is all of this and much more!

Before you buy or build your Cobra replica, you need to experience this video! Interviews with major replica builders will help answer your questions, as well as introduce you to their products. But more important, Cobra replica owners talk candidly about their experiences building and driving their cars.

You'll see some of the best footage ever filmed of Cobra replicas in action! Spins, crashes,150mph runs down-the-straightaway and leisurely cruises down city streets. 'Bitten by the Snake' was produced by Jim Colman, a television producer/director with over 25 years experience and himself a Cobra replica owner/driver who shares his experience of living with a 427 roadster in his garage.

Jim's priceless footage includes interviews with the top personalities in the Cobra replica industry, including Curt Scott, Publisher of 'The Complete Guide to Cobra Replicas'; Bill Moore, former Editor of 'Kit Car Illustrated' magazine; Dave Radtke, owner of 'House of Cobras,' and Dick Smith, the driver who throttled his Cobra to victory at Daytona.

"Bitten by the Snake" took over two years to film and edit. You'll see coverage of SAAC-23, and the 1997 and '98 McMullen & Argus "Run and Gun" events. This is one video you'll want to experience!

"Dear Jim:

I was very impressed with your video. Not only is the organization of the subject matter handled logically, but your photography, editing and basic production values are all absolutely top-notch. I guess maybe I'm used to seeing amateur stuff, because this video really stands out. It's obvious that you know what you're doing! I will certainly include a very positive 'review' in an upcoming issue of "The Shelby American."

"... generally speaking, producing a professional-quality videotape of any length (not to speak of... gasp!... 90 minutes!) is a very time-consuming and prohibitively expensive proposition for anything other than mass distribution or limitless corporate budgets. As a result, Cobra and Cobra replica enthusiasts haven't had much opportunity to view really professional-calibre video productions.

Enter Jim Colman's "Bitten by the Snake" video: not only is this a splendidly executed production showcasing today's Cobra replicas, but as a double bonus, Jim is uniquely qualified as both a professional video producer and a Cobra aficionado and an owner of his own Cobra replica. Jim's "Bitten" video is action-packed with both track footage and in-depth interviews with captains of the industry and Cobra industry commentators and journalists (myself included), as well as on-location interviews with individual Cobra and Cobra replica owners. You can safely toss hesitation and skepticism aside... this is one videotape you'll get a full return of your $39.95 investment with the very first of your multiple viewings. Good stuff!"

"Dear Jim:

I received your video last night and this morning I popped it in to watch the first few minutes. I wound up watching the entire 90 minutes and put everything else on hold. Congratulations on the job you did!

Right from the outset I was impressed with the quality of the video and the sound, the acoustics, background music, everything. Your daytime job abilities came through loud and clear.

The interviews you conducted were informative, honest, to the point and each and every one was beneficial. A potential Cobra buyer will benefit tremendously from this video. I know many of the people personally that you interviewed, and I respect everything they had to say and in some instances issues were cleared up that I wasn't 100% sure of. Again, I congratulate you and wish you a lot of successs; we'll be happy to add your "Bitten" video to our product catalog.

Sincerely yours,
Enzo Alibrandi, Finish Line/Moto-Lita USA"

"Now for Jim Colman's tape: clearly this was a labor of love for him to produce! Watching this 90-minute tape was "Valhalla" for a Cobra-compulsive like me. As I continue researching which Cobra replica manufacturer is the one for me, the material in Jim's video has been a great help. It took me to places where I cannot allot the time to go in cars I'll never drive, if only because they're owned by someone else! His interviews of car owners and industry notables was a great help to me. By the way, I don't work with Jim nor am I connected with him in any way... other than with our mutual passion for Cobras."
