My wife could drive it (she had a Jenson Healey in high school and drives my '07 GT500) and I would let her (with a bit of instruction), but she doesn't want to. She doesn't want to be responsible if anything happens to the cobra.

My wife has driven mine down a canyon in Eastern Utah. She liked it, but didn't dare go over 20. I think because she knows how much time I spent polishing and building it. She is welcome to drive anytime, but doesn't really want to.

I may let the Mrs. try to drive it, but she doesn't want to drive it on the street. She prefers to try it it in a big, empty, open parking lot.
She's a little scared of it, lol.

Gay?   
Sorry, I'm going to blame it on the beer, but I just could not resist.

wish I could claim being smart, but I'm a 3 time loser in the marriage department, so no more trips down the aisle. Besides, I been living with my girlfriend for 9 years, and so far I'm a better at being a boyfriend than I was at being a husband, so I don't want to mess with success.

My wife drives a clutch all the time. I let her drive the Cobra once - hit second gear and immediately pulled over and said "this is "ridiculous". Apparently the car scared the hell out of her and she has not driven it since.
