Man, you guys are right on the money! As far as answering my own question, I guess I need to look for an owner who is similar to me. A daunting task for sure, but there may be a few out there like me. Finding one who is ready to separate themselves from their passion would be the issue. While I have sat in a Cobra (Superformance) I have never actually driven or was a passenger in one. However, I have been vicariously riding along side many drivers via Youtube, and with eyes provided by GoPro. Gopro provides the ride "feel" via how it vibrates during the ride. The bigger the cam/engine, the more the camera vibrates while idling. While the road quality appears to be very good, the camera picks up the firm suspension do to small imperfections in the pavement. G-force in acceleration is picked up by the front end angle, and of course the sound of the exhaust that sings opera to me. Yes, I would have to be a very serious buyer for someone to throw me the keys and I fully understand that. If I was the seller, I would feel the same way. However, I know enough about dynamics to understand that 500 HP in a 2400 pound vehicle translates to "Use extreme caution while operating". It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that this type of car can easily get away from your control. Once spring gets here I hope to have the opportunity to speak with some current owners. I know there is a Cobra owner very close to me (don't know exactly where) as I saw the car last summer in a local Cruise Night where I live. It will take time for me to find what I'm looking for, but I have the patients to wait.
Thanks again, Dan
