Alright you asked: Seeing the first time I ever sat in a Cobra was the same day I drove mine I had a few impressions.
a) With the hard top on it is very hard to get in and out of.
b) If I had 'live' sidepipes I would have been in hospital about 10 times on the first day.
c) On my 1st fuel stop I had 3 people come up and say 'nice car'.
d) I am amazed just how 'light' it is to drive. No power turning thingy for me.
e) I am suprised how quickly 7500rpm comes when the tyres are spinning.
f) You can not jump in a Cobra and just 'drive' it. It wants to be used as a race car.
g) Next set of tyres I will definately go for some Road Legal sticky tyres.
h) Even old ladies look at the cobra. Or maybe they were looking for the car that was making all the noise. Or they thought Rebel1 was back in town.
