Nothing....and I repeat....Nothing ... with 4 wheels(and in the same price range as an SPF) will give you the thrills that a Cobra will.
Your concerns about safety are completely valid, I tell people all the time that driving the Cobra is as close as I will ever come to riding my motorcycle without a helmet, but that is part of the thrill.
A Cobra is Raw, Loud, Smelly,Primitive,a handful to drive, Tempermental,beautiful,no good in the rain and best of all they are an absolute
BLAST!!!
Now if you have reservations about driving around a replica Cobra then you better go buy that Vette. Unless you have $300 to $500 grand laying around to use on a TOY!
By the way I just sold my Vette(real) to get the Cobra (replica) and have not regretted it for a second.
Follow your heart...
Have a good one,
Dan
