I agree completely with Jack21 above...he sums it up very well. But you have to WANT no other car where only a Cobra will do. I saw my first Cobra in a Ford showroom when I was 12 years old, and just had to have one...one day. I built mine as an extension of my creativity, installed a six cylinder engine (went the other extreme) and have driven it almost every day, at least from April to November, here in the midwest. I originally built it as a driver, but once I broke the engine in (about the length of my driveway) I headed to the local quarter mile track and pounded out an 11.80 ET...I was hooked. Although I built it to drive it on the street, it's seen an awful lot of track time over the years. I now have almost 42,000 miles on the clock and it just keeps climbing, as I enjoy each mile (or quarter-mile increment) immensely. There is no other car that can even compare and if I sold the car, I really don't know what I'd replace it with...so it stays. Anyway, I'm gonna build a racer this time - a Daytona with a roll cage - and already have the engine/trans ready to install. Yes, another six cylinder too.
