I've been seeing this thread pop up and down, did not go through all the pages but heres my "story"

4 Years ago I got the chance to work with the Dallas based Backdraft dealer, I got to take these cars out, race them, fix them and the whole 9 yards. Well with in a year our investor pulled the plug and ended my Cobra dream. Being friends with John Ross "lonestar owner" he egged me to get one, well the time came and I was ready to buy one, looked at several different cars but chose the Backdraft that I knew, because I knew the car and issues and problems ahead of me. But I will agree seemed you didn't do enough homework and dove into a build/car each and every time. You stated it was to loud and basically raw, you certainly didn't do your homework then. I have had mine now officially for 4 months and loved every second of it, broke a driveshaft, fixed it didn't ***** or complain it part of owning a sports car. I laughed when you said the C6 could out handle and perform your Cobra, a C6 can't out perform mine, so maybe (and not trying be mean just stating my opinion) you could not "drive" the Cobra to it's potential, maybe a little fear of having no safty equiptment or computers to correct your driving mistakes. You learned your lesson you lost some money and you moved on. Take it as a lesson learned.
