- Heck, wait til the end of the year and you can get a used C7 stingray for $50K. You will have modern luxuries like GPS, bluetooth, airbags, cupholders, AC, and if you want to go roadster, the roof comes off! You can have it all in a Stingray!

These are all astute comments, advice, observations and statements.
1. You definitely want your Cobra to sound like a John Deere tractor. I've been attempting to get that lawn mower/tractor sound for years w/o much success.
2. Yes, Cobras break down because they're simple cars. Simple cars break down just like complex cars do.
3. Hammers, screwdrivers and duct tape are the primary tools in my tool box for fixing my Cobra. They work extremely well when you have to change spark plugs, fix a flat tire, alignments, changing
oil & filters, finding TDC, vacuum leaks and exhaust leaks, etc. They even work great when you want to change manifolds, cams, heads, etc.
4. And buying a new or newer GM product is a very prudent move. GM is building high quality cars & trucks, which are rapidly moving up in the JD Power surveys. You rarely, if ever, hear much about recalls either.
This is good stuff. Thanks.
