It's easy to lope away from the little 4 cylinder cars, Miatas. etc. without mashing the gas too hard and really unleashing the beast. The real danger comes when the kid in his dad's M5 or a later model Corvette gives you a smirk and you get tempted to wipe it off his face. In these scenarios, the speeds and the stakes suddenly become much higher. On public roads it's generally best to bask in the coolness factor of your Cobra and let the confrontation go. The Cobra might well have the power to weight upper hand but the superior brakes, steering and electronic driver aids in any modern performance car will bail them out in a high speed crisis while in the Cobra you have only luck and prayer on your side - neither of which might be inclined to come through for you when you need them the most.
Awesome Cobra by the way - Love the look and I've always liked the idea of a thumping 385 series big block in a Superformance.
eschaider and Harpoon PV2 like this.
