Tony,

No, I haven't driven a Cobra. I have restored and driven a couple of old British sports cars. I know the Cobra will be MUCH more powerful (yea!) and probably no less refined (no more unrefined?).

I expect this to be quite a change from my daily driver. That's part of the reason for wanting one. I like the elemental aspect of a car like the Cobra, and I don't mind some sacrifices to experience it. I've pretty much decided against all "wimp" options (PS, PB), and I'm willing to give up the A/C although that'll limit the pleasure of driving it for several months of the year. Oh well, at least we don't have much of a winter here.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

Lane
