I have been lucky, or, as the case may be, unlucky enough to own a few exotics along with the Cobras, and I can tell you that I will take a Cobra any non-rainy day of the week and almost every rainy day, too! I can build a new engine for my 289 for the price of a major service on a Ferrari--really! $5000-7000!!
USED distributor cap for my 330 GTC--$200!!! And it needs two!
I'll take the Cobra crowd any day, although I have met many fine people at exotic car shows and events, too. I admire the machinery of the exotics, and the handling of even the 60's vintage Ferraris is excellent, far superior to my big block, better than the small block, too.
Still, my money votes for the Cobra all the way.
