17+ year old son + Cobra = seriously injured or dead 17+ year old son. That was precicely the point I was trying to make suggesting a 289 or 302 engine choice for a starting point in a Cobra your kid is going to drive. At 21, I had a TR-4, 4 banger, with barely 100 hp. And it needed some acclimating.

My son-in-law is 34, and he got a check out ride before he got behind the wheel with me with him.

I probably lost more friends during the heyday of musclecars in the '60's behind the wheel of too much horsepower, and not enough experience, than I did in Viet Nam.
