Purpose of a Cobra??
Recently, my brother-in-law got to ride in a 427 Cobra. After exiting the car, nearly burning his leg on the pipe, and wiping his watering eyes (from the strong side exhaust fumes), he asked me "Why on God's Earth would you want one of these?" My response was simple:
"The 427 Cobra was built for three reasons: 1. To pollute the environment 2. To use up all of the planet's natural resources and number three.... To haul A$$! I can't wait to have one of these in my garage. Later, Russ "Cobra before Kids" Dickey P.S. Special thanks to CC member Chuck Nickloy who recently took me through the Premiere Motorsports shop. Fine factory and even finer cars. |
To quote Radke,
'The most fun you can have with 4 wheels around you" other reasons.. The reason Gas was invented.... Get to wear depends at an early age... Mike |
Hey Rus...Tell your brother-in law to stick to his mini van and leave the fun to us.:LOL: :LOL:

"Because they are FUN!!." "I like the attention they get from women." "It represents a simpler time." "Because they ARE FUN!!." "I like the looks/sound/acceleration of it." "It's MY money, and I will spend it as I please." "Because I didnt want to lose races." "I wanted something different to take to Car Shows." "Because THEY ARE FUN!!." "Because I couldnt afford the original back in the '60's." "I wanted to be different." Why would I NOT want one?" "Because I cant hear the wife/girlfriend when we go for a ride, and its the only peace and quiet I can get." "Corvettes are so, you know, 'boring' ". "BECAUSE THEY ARE FUN!!!." "Because I look good with a tan." "Porsches are so, you know, 'boring' ". "What did you say?" "Because a trip to the store for milk/soda/beer/Jack Daniel's/eggs can take hours." "If I have to explain, you wouldnt understand." "Because there are only two types of people in the world: Those that drive Cobras, and those that wish they did." Did I mention that they are FUN!!! ?

I've given quite a few rides in my Cobra, and the usual response is "holy $hit that things fast"
Most people have heard alot about Cobras but do not realize the feeling you get when you are plastered to that seat. Purpose? The look, the thrills, the acceleration, the thumbs up, the friends, there is no other car like it. |
It's the only way I can get my Albert Einstein haircut!

As Ernie said, it's the best form of mental health going:JEKYLHYDE

I have one, because I want one!!
Most of the reasons above are valid for me also.
I like the attention it draws. I like to talk about my build. I like to talk about fast cars. I always wanted one, now it is possible. In case no one has mentioned it, The are "FUN TO DRIVE". I'm kind of proud of my "snake bites". The most fun you can have with your clothes on. I don't care how fast it is, it is faster than most anything else. Dollar for dollar, it can not be bested. Mostly, it is what I always wanted, I am not dissapointed. |

JUST AHHH BECAUSE My Wife Told me to buy it!!!! lol :3DSMILE:

My wife who has not expressed any interest in a car in her life fell in love with a Cobra the first time she saw one. It is poetry standing still or in motion. It is a merger of form and function. The experience of being in one or around one is viseral and primal. As expensive as one is to build and keep, it is one of the best buys that can be had for performance, beauty, and fun. It is not practical, but it is not bought or used for practicality. It is bought and used out of pure love. It is also a people magnet. If you do not like people, do not have a Cobra. If you like meeting people, the Cobra gets attention. Having a Cobra is not a rational act. Having a Cobra is an emotinal experience that defies justification or explanation. If you have to ask why, no explanation will do. The reasons are not intellectual but experential.

Art on wheels.
Automobile icon. The rush of being pushed back into your seat as you accelerate. Race history. Hot laps around a road course. The great people that you meet. The friendships formed. Dreams can come true! Cheers, Pete C |
Freedom from the drudgery of work and the stress...
Another dream fulfilled... Life is too short... And just because................ It's so damn FUN! |
