If we can address the Porsche phenomenon for a moment. First off, the 356 built around the same time as the org. Cobras, I believe those low horsepower cars (60-110+), that any ol'fart can still drive well into their 80'-90's, even with their let's just say "Quirky"
handling. Now the 911, built from 65 on, are a whole different animal, even low Hp cars 150+ are a handful, again handling play's a big part, but those are brought by many younger folk's that had a 930 Turbo on their bedroom wall
Plus million's of Porsche's built, compared to a few ten's of thousand Cobras (Recreations). Our cars even with just 300HP, lets just say, you still have to have your wit's about you, to safely herd ours down the road
And I'm sorry to say, a lot of us understand that we just don't have that kind of reaction time, health, etc. to enjoy them anymore, and so off to their next caretaker
Oh, and as we well know, you have to be a "Special" kind of person to own a Cobra, you have know what wench look's like
By the way, I'm in no way bashing Porsche's as I've owned a few over the years, and the gentleman where my car being finished is a Ex-Factory Crew Chief, that worked on the 935', 956's, 962's, and owns one of the nicest 65 356SC. Cheers Tom.
