I must say the vette is easy to maintain and fun as hell to drive, i mean what other car has 405hp and get 30mpg on the highway its nuts. People are saying if you have over 450hp in a cobra it wont hook up and at 100mph plus the front end gets super light and has a hard time stopping it self. They are telling me i cant drive in the rain, on hot days and cant take trips longer then a hour? The rain and the hot days i can see but why cant i drive it more then an hour? In fact i dont even drive the cars now i have in the rain and if your doing 100mph who needs a/c lol
but all kidding aside is there any truth to any of this?

The experience of driving a cobra is quite different than that of a 2004 Corvette. The Cobra is more of a thrill to drive but has few creature comforts whereas the Corvette has more of everything all around you. If you haven't been for a ride in one, you should do so; then you can make your own judgment. Every ERA Cobra is different, hand built to what the original owner wanted in his own Cobra whereas the Corvette is an assembly-line car.
If you can, try going to a local Cobra meet so that you can see what you're getting into if you haven't done so already.
