It is very difficult to compare trailers without having owned/pulled one.

I have owned and pulled several enclosed trailers - up to 26', as well as open trailers up to 19' - for the past thirty plus years dragging race cars around the country.

It all shakes down to what you want.

If you want a trailer to transport your car, store your gear and haul both of them around, get an enclosed trailer with hard sides and a heavy duty vehicle to tow it.

If you want an enclosed trailer to haul your Cobra, I think you will be well pleased with a Serpent Express, and tow it with a small pick-up or a full sized SUV.

You can do either of these choices safely - even with a 20 to 30 mph headwind like the north bound IH35 drivers experienced on the way home last week end - but less weight and wind resistance make the smaller trailer more economical, an easier tow, and it stops a lot quicker than the larger/heavier trailer tow vehicle combination.

BTW....my Serpent Express fits inside a residential two car garage. Yours can as well, if you tell Larry how tall your garage door is before you place your order
