I dont believe the Cobra replica is too expensive for younger people. I've been to plenty of import/tuner shows and many cars are past $60K. The Import King is the Nissan GTR and that starts at $100K. Young or old, people find the money for the cars they want

You can drive those imports every day of the week. That is where your logic is flawed when it comes to the younger people. They would need two cars if they had a cobra, or in more simple terms, the cobra isn't anywhere near being practical.

Young people, under 30, generally don't go out and buy $60k plus fun toys that can barely be driven. A $40k bmw? Sure. A new evo? Yep. Maybe a gtr a couple years after landing their fast big job? I've seen that. But not something that you need to garage and can only drive on the nicest of days.
