Ownership experience of a cobra

[Carroll DeWeese]

I work for General Motors. Dave Hill, the Chief Engineer of Corvette, is a long time firiend of mine. Dave makes, in my opinion, the best production, performance car for the money, but it does not compare to my Cobra. The experience of both cars is dramatically different.

The Cobra gets attention wherever it goes. I live in a neighboorhood where people have showy cars and trucks. It is not unusual to be parked beside an exotic that costs $250,000 or more. Guess which car gets the most attention? Guess which car stirs the most passion? If you own a Cobra, you better like people and attention. You will get both.

My Cobra makes any Corvette seem practical. Nothing is practical about the Cobra. As others have said, it is raw and unrefined. With the proper hp and torque, it is a motor bike on four wheels. The "biker crowd" love my Cobra. They accept it as if it were a great custom bike. It gets "thumbs up"and escort, if wanted. No Corvette get the saame attention.

When trying to decide on getting a Cobra instead of a Corvette, I talked to lots of Corvette and Cobra owners. In general, I found the Cobra owners more friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about cars. I got a Cobra, in part, because I liked the "Cobra people" better.

You are also very fortunate to be dealing with Dynamic Motorsports and Dean Rosen. They are the standard of what all automotive dealers should be in how they treat their customers. I trust them. I know of no cases where they have not acted professionallly and above board at all times. If you have questions, ask Dean. He will not mislead you.

I love my SPF. The longer you have it and the more you experience it, the better that you will like it. You get much quality for your money. You get features that you may not even realize that you have. You get a great product and great customer support.

You have some concerns about buying a "replica." The SPF is better than the originals in most ways, except it is not "an original." It has more safety, performance, fit and finish, than the originals. Some of the other replicas also represent refinement above and beyond the "never-to-be duplicated, often copied" originals. No replica can replace an original. What is great is that I do not need or want and original to fulfil my dream. My SPF is a one-of-a-kind experience. Yours will be too.

Make yoou SPF as daily driver capable as possible. I think that you will find that you will want to drive is as much as possible. I never get tired of driving mine. I never get tired of looking at it.

With a Corvette you are chosing a great car. With the Cobra, you are chosing a great lifestyle.
