And it won't even matter if you get caught in the rain.
Thing is, you can't choose what you love and when I was done paying for college, I didn't buy another Porsche but I finally got my Cobra. Sold the first Cobra only so that I could build a more "accurate" replica.
I may own a Porsche again someday but only when I can't climb in and out of my Cobra 
I think you will be happy with your decision. |
The Turbo was in my sites. That was my end game as the car I wanted.
I was a little surprised that the 911 was missing something and making it faster would likely not fix it. In the end the Cobra is more of a hobby than a typical car. In my youth I was a motor head and I think I missed that.
I look at this as an extreme muscle car without the hassles that 40+ year old car brings with it. I had the car I drove in high school until recently. It was a SS396 Camaro. I sold it because I was not passionate about owning it. If I was going to go do a car of that vintage it would probably be a convertible Big Block Vett. But when the Cobra is to hard to get into I may revisit the Porsche Turbo (that is not exactly easy to get into either).
