    We live in the Northeast and rarely see temps in the 100's but when it does get hot and humid these cars will be very warm inside especially in stop and go traffic. We run with the top on most of the...

    In the heat of the summer we go for early morning drives and get back before the heat of the day sets in. Not sure the neighbors are fond of this, but it's better than leaving the car in the garage.

    Not to be rude or harsh but many potential owners with your concerns buy a Corvette. Anything close to effective A/C means TOP and side curtains, what fun is that? Generally, the top restricts...

    I'll echo what Sailfish said. I'm mid- fl, in Sarasota, and driving a Cobra in the heat and humidity is like driving an oven !!! The traffic and stoplites exacerbate the problem. And in this area...

    To the original poster, I would echo what others have said above. If you are even thinking you want or need a/c the Cobra is probably not the car for you. These cars are more like 4-wheel versions...

    It will be hot. The engine is inches from an uninsulated firewall and your feet will bake (even if you have the foot box air vents). I wore sandals all the time. Your feet will get really hot. ...
