I got the only real negative feedback from a mechanic...I was there to pick the car up and not sure he knew it was mine. He overheard another guy and I talking about it and he said some trashy things about it and what HE would have done to it engine and suspension wise... his boss REAMED him out in front of me for it... fun to watch. From what I hear, that mechanic is not there anymore, attitude was given as a reason.

Only other time I remember anything sort of negative was a woman walked in after me at a Blockbuster.. had seen me in the car and walked up to me and asked if it was REAL (oh here we go again) or a kit. I was about to tell her about my car when she said, 'cause if its a kit, I will have to kick your ass...'??? HA.. now I am into the rough and nasty stuff like any other red blooded american hetrosexual (right? huh, am I right?), but I said nothing.. just laughed and walked away... on the way out the door she asked me if I restored it myself...I said 'YEP...' and kept walkin...

PS - I find the biggest fans of these cars when out driving have been harley riders. They come up beside me, thumbs up, and some ask for a shot of the nasty noise...

I have never had anything negative said to me by someone who did not have their own Cobra. Even the cyclists that I pass 1 of the group will almost always give the thumbs up. At least I think it is a thumb they are waving!

Now, other Cobra owners, that is a different story. I have been surprised by comments from other owners. Most have been from SB owners dailing up their pride by telling me what a waste BB are to have. I could care less about SB or BB. It is the fun of driving and the VAST number of great people you do get to talk to.

There is one guy in particular that keeps telling me about how his corvette green car is better looking then my red car. Bastard.

I believe I saw this about a Corvette on one of the Corvette forums where some owner was having all kinds of problems with his new Corvette a year or so ago. If not, then apologies to whomever did post it and I can't remember.
