Evan,
To me the Cobra is truly timeless, and a classic. If you had said a 993 Twin Turbo it would get me thinking a bit more. I am slowly starting to get a fondness for the new watercooled 996s, but they are more GT cars than raw sportscars. People do need to note that 911s have aged very well and many of the 911s from the 60s and 70s are valued by collectors. Even the 80s era 930 Turbos are nice raw cars to drive and have quite the following, as do the last of the air cooled 911s (993). If I could only have one 2 seater car in the garage and it was my primary vehicle, it would be a 911, likely a 996 Cab, or the new upcoming 996TT Cab. For a true toy, the Cobra wins hands down. Plus the tinker factor is there for the common backyard mechanic that you lose with the 996.
Jamo, stay away from those 360s. After 20,000 miles of your driving or my driving, it would be broken, instead of broken-in. I love looking at them, listening to them, but I'd hate to own one.
