Cobra + 125cc Shifter Kart = Much more fun
An old school friend (hard worker, paid his dues) has a Turbo Porsche, 328 Ferrari, Acura NSX, AMG Mercedes, and a 1965 Shelby Fastback with ALL total Control mods; now looking at Cobras. Guess what his favorite car to drive is and what gets the most thumbs up? > 1965 Shelby Fastback. Now he wants to upgrade to a nice Cobra.
IMHO: The buy it / drive it / no-wrench / wax it / types seem to prefer the newer Porsches, Vipers, etc. People that enjoy to work with their hands, create things, and build things (e.g. loved driving lawn tractors as a kid) seem prefer the Cobras more...
I would never compare a newer newer Porsche to a 427 Cobra. Like comparing a raspy 60s electric rock guitar to a violin or something. Completely different cars and feel. The optimum solution would be to own both, with a Shifter Kart.
