I'm new to the forum and I have a theroy why everyone is so passionate about debating which car is better/faster/sexier. This week I take delivery of my second Cobra a SPF 460/535, my first was an excalibur with a 347, and 150 shot of NOS. But I've also ownered a '01 and a '02 Corvette ZO6 and a '97 Saleen Mustang. I see one big difference in owning the Cobra vs. the Vette and Mustang. The Cobra's don't have any natural enemys. The Z06 had the Viper and the European sports cars, the Mustang had the Camaro Guys and dreamed about beating a Vette, but we Cobra people only have each other. I have never met anyone who "HATED" cobra's. You have the anti-kit car guys who just don't understand, but most of these guys are driving rusted out "ORIGINAL" Nova's. There seems to be a building competition with the Vipers, but the hatred factor seems to be missing. (I personally can't stand the Viper, but what do I know) So we come here a beat up each other...Which is actually fun.
So here is my $.02 on the subject. I looked at the SPF, ERA, KIRKHAM, and the CSX. I drove all of them and they are all Spectacular machines!!! And anyone who has one should consider themself lucky. I finally chose the SPF because the car fit my needs, and future plans for the car a little better than the others. I was also impressed by the "One lap of America" stuff. But I honestly knew it wasn't a huge decision because I couldn't make a bad choice with any of the cars. But as I am a SPF owner now, of course I think it is the best car out there. (They make you sign an agreement upon purchasing the car, stating you will post that sentence at least once on this board!)
Anyway keep up the great debate here boys, but keep your eyes open for some of those silly Vipers cruising around, they all need a taste of our venom.....
