Default CSX 2252 vs. AC Cobra MKIV #185

This comparison was requested from JBo. Since I have both cars, this is only my opinion.

AC MKIV #185

Less expensive to purchase
Less expensive for insurance
Less worry when driving
Cockpit more comfortable
Better looking (my girlfriend's opinion)
It's not a real Shelby Cobra
But, it's a real AC

CSX 2252

Nothing beats the patina/originality
It's faster
Exhaust note louder and sounds better
Less weight
No emissions testing
It's a real Shelby Cobra

Similarities

Fun to drive
Not a replica
Aluminum body
