Looking to purchase a Cobra

[James Stern]

Just about any cobra that you can buy (FE or not) can KILL you. Have a couple of beers and you can find yourself in a world of hurt if you don't give the car the respect that it needs. Good luck to you and welcome to the world of the politically incorrect.

JPit, I just got back from a couple hours out and about in my Cobra. I spent about 4 years researching and finally took the plunge 4 months ago. Stopped at Walmart for my wife to pick up a couple things (yes, she likes to ride) and while she was in, had at least 5 folks stop to chat, 2 of which stayed the entire time I was waiting.....talking, taking pictures and even using their cell to have someone listen to it. I've found this to be the "norm" when I take it out. It's a rush and absolutely fun. As was said, any one of these things can kill you, so don't think going low HP is safe. I debated back and forth, but am absolutely satisfied with my BB. It's not radical, just remarkable (I know, I'm biased!).

The market is right, there are many out there reasonably priced. Don't wait too long if you see one that meets your needs! And, probably only you know what those are!! Talking with folks and following this forum will help you greatly in your search.

Good luck!

After a couple of beers, that shed roof and the desire to learn hang gliding can KILL you!

I would never recommend driving any high HP sports car after a couple. That would be just enough testosterone and not enough inhibition to do some damage.

I can attest to that from personal experience.....when I was in the second grade, I was fascinated with parachutes and wanted to feel the experience of "floating to the ground", so I climbed the house and jumped off holding onto an umbrella ....

DAMN, that landing was hard!

.....and I hadn't even had one beer .
