A lot of good advice here. But the formula is really simple:

1. Drive one.
2. Find a different brand and drive that one, too.
3. If it's still for you, then seek the most Cobra that you can afford (albeit with compromises worked into the equation).
4. If your choice is not the ones that you test drove prior, then drive that, too.
5. If you can live with those same certain compromises, revert to #3.
6. If it's not for you, then seek the Corvette/Porsche that best suits your style and tastes.
