New to the Cobra world? Have you always dreamed of having a Cobra? Read carefully.

After reading this post and every reply, I begging to write, and for the life of me I'm trying to be positive with my comments. I'm not a psychologist and I'm not trained in anyway to read the mind of an individual.
But I can't help to think based on what I read, that deep down inside he really did not want a Cobra. For him a Cobra only temporary satisfied a need for approval from a buddy or family members to say “I ONCE OWNED A COBRA”..... MAY BE BRAGGING RIGHTS ETC. The things that he went through was so un-necessary and a total waste of money. TOO MUCH MONEY WAS THE MAIN PROBLEM. What can you say about a MAN??????????? that needs approval and advice from a three year old?
A Cobra is a car for you, not for the family.
Stick with the Corvette, mother will love you better…..

Interesting, 5 pages of responses and I don't think that there is one comment about what I think is one of the most important aspects of owning one of these cars; the fraternity that comes with it! A group of individuals with similar passion that don't care whether you're a "gearhead" or a "car guy/gal" who want to share that interest and have a good time doing it. A group which includes probably hundreds of individuals both professional and non who are willing to share their experiences and their advice (not always appreciated of course!) to help out someone else. I began this "quest" for the car and ended up with a whole lot more that now almost overshadows the car itself!

My advice, when you get one of these cars find a good local club and share the experience. I think it multiplies exponentially when you do that.

BTW-after 6 months and over 3000 miles my only regret is that I can't drive it more. I wouldn't trade it for anythingelse although I would consider getting a more "civilized" sports car in addition for driving when the weather is at its most extreme conditions.

LMAO.........some fraternity......... a bunch of "a--holes" judging from the venom flowing here. Jeez, the guy was just sharing his thoughts and a bunch of sharks feel the need to pump themselves up by putting him down.

I've enjoyed the hell out of my Cobra for almost 4 years, and still drive it regularly. I also own a C6 Z06 as a daily driver (amazing engineering acheivement that is scary fast, very track-capable, and comfortable for peanuts), and a Lotus Elise (with the most divine handling qualities I've ever experienced). Those three could not be more different, and I enjoy them all immensely, but I am fortunate to be able to have cake, lobster, and tequila all at the same time.

Not being much of a sweets eater, can I just have some lobster and tequila?
