The other safety factor in a Cobra (or lack thereof) is the height of the occupants - anything coming at you with a large frontal area, a 4WD or heaven forbid a truck... you might as well be on a motorbike. When it comes to safety I care less about whether the control arms are bespoke alloy items vs pressed steel factory components, and more about the idiots on the road around me. Let's not confuse bling with safety!
