Have done a couple of longish legs in the Cobra over the past 7 years. Probably the longest single shot was Portland, OR to San Francisco, CA in a day. A little less than 800 miles. Any number of 250 to 350 mile day long hops.
If I'm going to be on the freeway for any period of time I use ear plugs (custom fit from any of several internet providers for about $15) not so much for the noise but for the wind buffeting. Ditto with Panoptix sun glasses that use a soft form seal to keep the wind from drying out your eyes.
Have done several Cruise Colorado trips that are a spectacular 6 day 12 to 1400 mile runs through the Rockies. Also a number of Snakes to the Lake runs which for me is a 500 mile run down to Sacramento and then another 150 or so up to Lake Tahoe and return to Portland.
Weather is probably one of the most significant factors for a long range trip in the car. I usually carry the top and side curtains in the trunk and, if it looks really bad, put them on as needed. Can be a life saver trip wise of the weather is iffy.
While not a "car for all seasons" the Cobra can be driven on long legs. Just make sure you have a reasonably detailed plan on how to handle what you're likely to run into. Make sure you're comfortable in your seats, take the bit in your teeth and go for it.
