Sounds like maybe you better stick a little 120CI Chevy 4 popper in it and call it good.

It's been discussed a number of times, but these cars are flat out dangerous. And it can be argued as to whether a motorcycle or a Cobra is worse and both sides will have a good argument.

If you are looking for safety, consider looking a Corvette. And I don't mean that in a nasty way. There are lots of people that just have to have a Cobra, get one and then find out it's not for them.
