The good news- they are 1965 curvy beautiful, and look like what a sports car is supposed to look like.
The bad news- they are 1965 technology.
I have an authentic car. I would like to have another one for fun built on a 350Z or C6 chassis, suspension, steering, engine, brakes as a daily driver. Not a "Cobra", really, just a really beautiful 1960's looking car with 2003 techology.
The other bad news, (caused by the first bad news). They are kinda hard to drive, in other words, unless you are a good driver, you can flog a 300ZX, and stay on the road, but with the same amount of talent, you'd land your Cobra in a ditch.
The guys who have really powerful cars and drive them hard must be damn good drivers, because I have good hand- eye coordination, and get to my limit on the Cobra 10+ mph earlier on the Cobra than I do on my 300ZX.
Fun factor favors the Cobra though- even though I am going slower, it feels way faster because of the wind, noise, body roll, and pedestrians heads turning.
