Who still drives their cobra in the summer heat

And that is why I sold my Cobra Roadster and got a Daytona Coupe. Driving in the 115/120 degree heat we have in the Summers was just to much for me as I have gotten much older. Even the Coupe gets to hot on the worst days.

I thought about a Daytona coupe many years ago .... but can’t get this 6’5’ body in to one and close the door.

I do fit in a GT 40 with a gurney bubble, but still don’t have the room to let the clutch out!

So stayed with the Cobra and the heat.

Being 6’5” saved you a ton of money! I was out at Hillbank and took the GT40 tour back in September. I was out for a business meeting so I did not have time for a test drive but what a car! Long term I believe I really want a GT40 but I still think I would drive the Cobra more often.
