Ron;
Hot rodding in general, and cobra ownership in particular, is an intensely personal thing. What's right for one, won't be a perfect fit for someone else -- so it all comes down to your idea of that perfect car.
Probably everyone here will advise you to look at a
lot of cars, then make the choice that's best for
you. If I might make a suggestion, perhaps you could go to the upcoming London Cobra Show (June 22-24). This show represents a golden opportunity to look at a
lot of cobras in one place, and talk to owners about their cars. The manufacturers are well represented at this show, as well. The URL for this show is:

Wait 'till you have to pick your color.
