First post on the CC forum!! Now talk me into buying a cobra!!

It all depends upon what you want out of the car.... Are you a car guy or a hot rod guy? If you are at all concerned about the weather, comfort, noise, radio, a/c, ect....go for the Corvette, a BMW, Porsche, or whatever. A Cobra is about a raw as you can get, but it is the most fun you can have in a vehicle, IMHO. FWIW, I am 6' 5" and around 280 #'s... I had to pull out the drivers seat to fit in my car. Comfortable? No. Worth it? 110% Yes! Any questions just ask. Mark

Sounds like the vette is the right choice. All you mentioned about the cobra was the sound and craftmanship. Cobras are 100% toys, if you are not head over heels in love you will probably not keep it. You either love them or hate them there is no in between.

There's nothing rational about the decision to own a Cobra. If you need to be talked into buying one, you should get the 'vette.

All very good points, you truly have to have a passion for these cars because they are so raw. I love the open air, the smell of un-catted exhaust fumes, big cam, and of course the raw horsepower. But then the analytical side of my brian kicks in and says what "Ron AZ" said about worrying about where you drive it, and is it going to rain, or will it get cold, and then I only drive it on a nice Saturday. I want to drive it at least 3 days a week! I am not a garage queen kind of guy, I am going to go track events, car shows, and just cruzing. I know that I can do all of these things in a vette too, but nothing compares to these cars!!

I'll make you a deal on mine with an enclosed trailer......Come on over and get it!!

I'd even throw in my '04 Ram 1500 if you need a tow vehicle!!
