I also know about not letting other folks drive it.

Thanks for all the comments.

Bill, whether you have 725 or 843 HP, the fact of the matter is that a brand new car that weighs 4,000 lbs +/- will not accelerate, steer and handle like a Cobra, which is 1/2 the weight, no electronic gizmos and a short wheelbase.

Notwithstanding, there may be private parties or dealers out there that may allow you to drive the car, I just wouldn't be one of them. I only have 700 or so miles on my car and I'm still trying to get used to it and I've previously owned other fast cars.

Best of luck with your Cobra purchase.
