Is a cobra right for me?

[fsstnotch]

If you have to ask, I'd say it's probably not for you. You might want to look into the corvette. Don't buy a cobra because it doesn't depreciate! haha It depreciates alot when you have no desire for the car!

And HUrricane-motorsports is definitely the best!

Wow guys, thanks for the great response. I feel like such a noob since i dont know jack about these cars. Ive had quite a few turbo cars and a few m3's that did nicely at the track and the drag strip, but never anything quite like this.

I can tell the purist dont like the a/c question, and thats understandable, but TX heat at a stop light with side exhaust bouncing off other cars can get pretty toasty(Viper). My daily driver will be my trusty little nissan frontier, so its not like i have to drive this all the time. But id like to at least be able to take my g/f to the movies once in a while without hearing her ***** the entire way about the heat. The noise she will have to live w/

And im sorry about the question about depreciation/resale, but im only 26 and just bought my first house 2 years ago. It wont be easy to afford this as it is, but if i do get in over my head financially i need to be able to recouperate some of the money without completely loosing my ass.

Don't worry about the comments here my friend. LOL...lots of 'grumpy old men' (me too...and proud of it) with attitudes and opinions on EVERYTHING

I have lived in Texas for 27 years now, and completely understand your heat issues, but AC may be a little impractical that's all. I actually added 'fans' and vents in both sides of the dash, but they only blow air at ambient temps. It helps, but with a roadster, real AC will just be wasted.

Now, with regards to your comment about the little woman..."without hearing her ***** the entire way about the heat"...most Cobra enthusiasts would recommend...

1) change girlfriends

or

2) leave her behind

Good luck out there. Since you live close to LSC in Ft Worth, go visit them. (Even though I have one, not necessarily saying GO WITH LSC, although I DID!, but with a 1 hour visit, you will KNOW if a Cobra is what you REALLY want and then you can take a little time to choose which one) Take a look around, sit in a couple of Cobras, ask for them to take you for a 'spin', talk to Brian etc.

Good luck
