Well there's good and bad. Sounds cool and all that stuff...but now the downside.......it makes Cobras look bad and nothing more than race cars.....I'm sure your insurance is out the door and since you can't insure it what good does it have it. From what I've read lately without an almost spotless record....no insurance company will touch you and it just gives insurance companies more amunition as to why not to insure Cobras. I have been guilty as anyone of punching it...BUT have been VERY selective as to when and where.....because I know one ticket will kill you and you can't hide or blend into traffic to get away like the M3 can. I've taken up the saying..."walk softly and carry a big stick" I know I can outrun them....there's nothing to prove. Save the racing for the track.

Yes I know I'm getting old and the mortality thing comes up when I think about it....screw up one good time in a Cobra...and your DEAD. Believe me you get this way as you get older..especially if it took you years and years to realize your dream of owning one of these. Please don't take this the wrong way as I usually don't even respond to these but just felt like putting in my .02
