You're right. The Cobra is not the car for him. Joerude, turn back now, don't even look over your shoulder, and spend your money elsewhere. You would not be happy with one of these cars.

Regardiing using a Cobra replica as a daily driver and driving it to work, there is an aspect of this that no one above has commented on yet - they reek of fuel and exhaust fumes and by the time you jsut back out of the garage you will too. A fuel injected motor will lessen the stench somewhat, but not eliminate it. If you work in a business where it won't be a problem to smell like a refinery all day then other than being able to stand yourself, you may be OK. It won't endear your wife or girlfriend to you on a daily basis either. Plus, day in and day out use - you will probably be deaf in no time from exhaust noise and wind buffeting.

I can't imagine driving a Cobra in stop-n-go traffic and sitting at stoplight after stoplight every day going to work.

1) Well, the right motor and the right gas (see pictures) no smell at all!!

2) Depends on your partner in life, mine is a Texan --- Horse, Motorcycle, Hot Rod and Roadsters she is all in.

3) There are pretty quiet Cobras out there - buffeting? The grin on the face of a Cobra driver overcome that pretty easy.
