TC: I considered buying this car at one time. If it would have been closer to me I might have. I think it's a good buy. It did seem like the roll bar was a bit tall and wide? maybe this is just "unique" to LAE? I don't know.
I agree with Jim, be VERY carefull if you drive. Especially this time of year...cold weather...cold pavement = bad traction...your dream coming to reality and right foot "quiver" can = bad things!
Consider buying the trailer he has for sale with the car as a package for 35K (or less ya never know) the trailer looks like it works well. My .02
TC: be VERY darn careful when you drive the Cobra (test drive AND on your way home IF you buy it!!). These cars are a "handfull" and can get away from you in a heartbeat! There was one guy here in San Diego who bought a new BD and wrecked it less than 2 miles from the place where he bought it. Please be very careful driving ANY Cobra until you have some seat time in and are extremely familiar with the car and what it will and won't do. Also note that in WET weather, it's extremely hard to keep a car like this under control. I know the rear end of my LAE continually wants to swap ends with the front in DRY conditions. I honestly would NEVER drive my Cobra in wet conditions. As for the TOP issue, I personally would never put one on mine. Too ugly and, as already stated, almost useless. IMO.[/quote]
