It's a 40 year old love affair with a car I could have bought new and didn't. In retrospect the decision to buy the Street Hemi was probably a better move from a daily driver point of view. The Cobra would have been far less suitable as a daily driver but far more satisfying as a mental adjustment machine each time you did drive it.

In 1967 (I was 16 at the time) I got to drive an original Cobra and I was in love, or maybe lust since that time. Needless to say I could not afford one at that time and as I grew older they eventually got out of the price range I could afford.

Then about 8 years ago I started doing my research for a kit car Cobra. That is when I found out about the Superformance Cobra and decided that was what I wanted. Well with work, home and family issues it took me 8 years to finally get around to buying one, and I love it.

So, for me it's the heritage and what the car represents that I love.

The rawl power of a big block wrapped in the sexy body of a little roadster.
It is a driver's car. Built to drive not to sit in a parking lot.
Definately an emotional experience.
