Not Ranked
I just heard about this post, and first would like to express my regrets to family and friends who have known and lost what sound to be some exceptional people. If it's any consolation, one can hope that they died happy & doing what they loved.
Without question, by today's standards even the best of Cobra replicas (not to speak of the originals!) are by design inherently unsafe vehicles. Tiny wheelbase, tiny track/tread and LOTS of power, wrapped with virtually no crush zones, let alone airbags, etc.
I'm close to religious about my adulation for my Cobra, but one has to remember --at all times-- what a risk just being in one of these things is.
Not that I'm any role model, but let's all be careful of our own exuberance, as well as the other guy.
