I'm thinking the next question will be about gas mileage.

I agree with Patrick. There's no way to describe the acceleration, handling and braking of Cobra. I owned a '66 Corvette Convertible with BBC 540, obviously IRS, sidepipes and upgraded components everywhere, but it's just not the same.

You can rest easy - no gas mileage questions forthcoming.

I have two cars already that have pretty wicked acceleration . I am sure it is not the same as a 65 cobra but a little better than a camry.

Find a way to drive someone's high-end Cobra -- maybe your local club can help out there. But, most car enthusiasts will find that a Cobra is not for them -- for a lot of reasons. In fact, you almost have to be "not completely right" to want to spend the kind of money a lot of these cars cost just to get something that is pretty much useless most of the time.

Sounds like you just described me.

Maybe your right. Probably better off adding a Raptor & Boss 302LS and calling it a day.
