I like the sense of purposefulness the Cobra has. It is, after all, nothing but a minimal car with a heck of a lot of fun factor built in. I like the idea that it is a car with nothing attached that will not enhance performance. I like the fact that it is extremely easy to work on, and maintain. I REALLY like the fact that it has nearly limitless performance, and carries a lot of style. It is nice to have a car that is admired, and sometimes feared. It is a big plus that you can build one yourself, detailed and finished to whatever style or liking you choose. Another neat factor is that you can meet a lot of really good people in this hobby, it's almost like a family (keep in mind that we all have some family we could do without, but they are family nonetheless!
)
Negatives? Gas mileage I suppose is one. The roar of the pipes can get old over distances and the insurance and titling hassles can be like a root canal without novocaine. To me, these are extremely minor, but they do weigh on you. All of the negatives melt away quickly when you can find some solitude and just DRIVE! It really is a little piece of Nirvana!
