Actually, driving around here with really tight shoulder harnesses is a bit of a dilemma. The most likely impact scenario, aside from me screwing up and crashing on my own, is a deer collision. Not being able to duck or move sideways would be a bad thing if a 300 lb. deer was coming through the windshield. My last daily driver was totaled in a deer collision, so I can only imagine how the Cobra would fare. Harnessed in tightly, a deer could literally take your head off. Ugly thoughts, but since it already happened to another of my cars, it is something I think about.
All these winding, hilly country roads will be awesome driving in the Cobra, but those damn deer do put a damper on the safety issue.
