MN-Fats, I think McDoo just told you some of the reasons to get a Cobra! McDoo is correct of most of his points. They are Loud (sidepipes), Stinky (no catalytic convertor),
No power steering (u don't need one anyway), No radio (exactly!)or any of the luxury items found on most cars since the mid 60's. I know i didnt buy a Cobra thinking it was as user friendly as a family car (such as a Corvette). It's Raw and real and not very forgiving. But thats why we buy them. They are a replica of a 1965 COBRA. As for insurance, please look at the Insurance that sponsors on this web site. I think you will be surprised at the low cost. As for parts, I know that Superformance has a dealer network that is superb, and is as easy to get parts as GM. Registering my Cobra was no problem in Ohio. California has a Senate Bill 100 that you have to deal with, but your in Minnesota, check with your local DMV. McDoo, how much is a replacement bumper on your new Corvette? As for the rain, McDoo is right...your interior would get wet. There is no roof on these cars...yes the top can be difficult to put on your first time, but i wouldnt know since i never used it. Nice dry sunny days for me and mine. Not like the rugged Corvette's that tromps thru the snow and hail in Carmel, California, LOL. MN-Fats, Look through the old threads. it will give you a complete background and probably what to expect. You wont go wrong with a Replica Cobra, its way more fun to drive!!
