Rick-
This may be semantics, but I don't know if it's fair to say that compared to new cars Cobras are dangerous. I will agree that compared to new cars, Cobras are not as safe and do not have the same safety features, no air bags, etc. But I don't think that not being as safe necessarily means more dangerous. Because Cobras do not have the same safety features, they become more dangerous when not respected and driven like an a-hole.

But simply because they are less safe, doesn't make them inherently more dangerous. Having less safety features just means that there is higher risk of injury if there is an accident. Being less safe or having less safety features does not necssarily increase your likelihood of having an accident.

That's my .02

I'm not going to the Fling
