Yes the Original AC Cobra are the best, had one in the early 1990's, but now I have moved on falling in love with the DRB540

Not really an apples to apples comparison comparing a porky modern convertible to a classic and timeless design - Everyones entitled to opinions but give me a Cobra anyday. I do like the look of the car, but I reckon it'll be looking pretty tired in 10 years whereas the original cobra shape looks just as good as it did 40 years ago.

Tenrocca I think this version of a modern cobra may tempt you. See it here:
