Default I agree a little bit with each answer

There are several "cobras" that have additional (potential) safety features inherent, such as my West Coast.. BUT.. in reality they are small low sportscars which are high powered and a bit tricky when used at the limit (which almost no one has the ability to use, or should, except on the track, ...or should attempt to discover that they have that ability on the street !) And in a confrontation with a truck/SUV at speed, etc.. they will lose, unless you have energy shields or something


Regarding the people who have no business with any vehicle, much less a HP machine:
The old addage that "your mind is your primary weapon" is of course useless to those with "empty magazines" . Be sure yours is full if you drive a cobra or other HP machine, or PLEASE buy a VW bug or SUV instead. Responsible cobra owners don't need the bad publicity any more than responsible gun owners need the bad pubicity from the (low percentage, but widely publicized) misusers of same.
