Finally got my Cobra after 25 years of lusting

The three days I got to drive it in December only had temperatures in the high 40s. I was surprised how well the heater worked.

I was also surprised that the suspension was a little softer than I expected. I've had a Pantera and Porsche 944T for 29 and 26 years and both are stiffer than the Cobra. I only noticed how much suspension travel there was going over some dips in the road.

From reading the owners manual I gather the shocks aren't adjustable. When I get it out of storage I'll put it on the lift and check out the bottom side. Almost like waiting for Christmas morning to come .

Greetings from MN! You are lucky. I only got to drive mine onto the trailer in December. I have the good fortune of owning a number of very nice cars, but am truly excited about the Cobra.

BTW - I also have a Pantera and have always regarded it as having decent ride quality. Had mine since 1984...
