One you fly by the seat of your pants and all of your wits in place the other you pilot with the assistance of computerized nannies. One is visceral, the other sedate.
No argument which is faster, more comfortable, easier to handle, goes further on a tank of gas but at the same time I really like old school where I need to do the work. I also have an '01 Audi S4 that has gone faster than the Cobra but it's so easy almost anyone could do it. Both at 155+ on GPS.
BTW I've made two trips from Michigan to Colorado, Montana and home in SPF1855 and one trip to Colorado and back in SPF 2584, easy 10 hour days. Wind blown, hot, cold, dry, wet and baked but never uncomfortable. Must be just me.

I am not sure I would call that Porsche sedate, but I would not call it visceral.
I am looking forward t the contrast.
