A GT is a pretty good Cobra replacement, holds no luggage, can't leave it anywhere for fear of people screwing around with it, everyone wants to race you, little kids stare at it, major overheating if you increase the power, it will bite you in the A## instantly if you are not paying attention, and it is so fast that it is boring on public roads.

The attention they garner can be a pain in arse at times.

I just finished reading this thread and have a very simillar delima
I have dreamed about having an SPF cobra and a FORD GT for years and now that I own both I would really like to find a daily driver that will give you that excitement when you look at it on the road and in the garage , my search to date has involved the Mustang GT500 for the most part as it has 4 seats and is performance orientated , the only problem with the mustang is there is about 2 gazillion of them on the road , so it is very hard to get excited about them , I have aslo looked at the new Camaro , but I am not much of a Chevy fan
I guess i will stay with my very , very modest 2001 Mazda protege as a daily driver until something else pops up , my freinds say I am a sleeper based on what I drive compared to the inventory in the garage , I am good with that
Oh yeah , good luck finding a no story FORD GT around 140K with low mileage and no stories

As well as a Cobra. I've met more people around town just by their desire to talk about my Cobra. I live in a smaller community (what? 25k people?) and my Cobra almost makes me a small town celebrity. But it's not just here.
I like talking and listening to people (well, to a point: some people want to be my next best friend...) and I meet all kinds of characters. Most are polite and interesting, and gracious enough to realize my social queues mean I'm a man in motion.
Would that happen with a Viper? Probably not. Corvette? Certainly not. Ford GT or a GT-40 replica? Yeah, but I like no top.
Lister-Corvette (Beck)? Yeah, that'd get attention. If I had to lose the Cobra and get another toy that stirs my soul the way the Cobra does? Yeah, a Lister-Corvette (replica).

BMW Z8 ?
It has the M5 engine, open top, reliable as a daily driver, and you don't see them very often.

First, the marooney (MSRP) on an SPF GS Vette is $90,000, for a roller. That's not $60K. I personally don't like their looks, but that's JMHO.
Second, if you can find a Z8 for $60K that doesn't have a salvage title, I'll buy it. I love the looks and they retain their value similarly to the Ford GT. Z8's are $90,000-$120,000 cars last time I checked. |

You're right. I forgot about the $60K limit. Oops.
But I think the SPF Grand Sport is awesome and wicked looking. It would be a great addition to any garage with a Cobra in it already. What pair of book ends!
The Spf Grand Sport is definitely on my short list.
Does anyone know anybody with a Spf Grand Sport?
The only concern is resale. Likely a very very very narrow market.
