ZERO. Almost bought the Cobra right before buying the Vette - just got cold feet of basically buying a motorcycle and not a third car that could be driven at anytime IF need be.

I look at it as if I'm renting a toy that puts a smile on my face.

100%!

Just saying

Bill is giving it to you straight. I have the 550HP all aluminum Roush racing motor in my superformance and it is not like any other vehicle I have driven in my lifetime. You have to have mad respect at ALL TIMES or it will bite you. 200hp is enough to kill you, 350-400HP is probably more than sufficient to have a great/fast car.

GL!
