Steve,
It's hard to stand by watching fellow cobra enthusists die. All you can do is try to inform them and set an example, they will have to make their own choice. Driving a 'macho' car like the cobra , I see no reason to have to prove anything on the street. I go to the track for some thrills. I get some comments from the 'show' crowd that I have too big a rollbar and it's not 'correct'. It bothered me at first, but now seeing all the real life accidents, I would never give up the full safety cage and headrests that make me feel safer cruisin' the streets with my butt 6" inches off the ground in a fiberglass car. Also, cobra's(any homebuilt/new rod) here in B.C. have to go through a full transport Canada safety inspection before it can be registered. At least you know it has brakes and steering,etc. Not to say some idiot will crash it, but that's the point, it's the driver or other guy that causes accidents.
I've seen enough in my 35 years of driving to know better.
Perry.
