Noel: I too have been asking some of the same questions. Let me ask you this...People are speaking about re-sale, re-sale, but when I make my purchase regarding a Cobra, this is a once in a lifetime toy. After my initial Cobra, I might modify it to fit my future needs, but I expect this Replica to last the rest of my life! My Cobra will not be the fastest on the track (cause there is always someone faster) but it will be quick enough to have a smile on my face, and the uneasiness of driving too fast, running through my veins.
I recently had the opportunity to drive a classic roadsters cobra, and needless to say, I fell in love with everything about the Cobra. It has a fit like few others I have looked at. It is a little longer in the wheelbase, a little wider, and they claim it has a 50/50 weight distibution. That to me means that the handling is superb! Let me tell you it is too! I spoke with a person that has had one for over 15 years, and nearly 80,000 miles on it. His car is still in Awesome condition. For me...I cn always do upgrades to make it what I want, but I also want a SHOW-STOPPER on the road, and good performance when I decide to take it to the track. I am not a professional Racer, but would like to go try my best on the track, while still having a little Honda/ Corvette EATIN MACHINE!!!!
I was just curious what you wanted out of your Cobra, and is it going to be a once in a lifetime deal for you too?
