IMO, these cars are best viewed as fun toys that you take out and play with when the mood strikes you. I would not want my Cobra as a daily driver (there are exceptions to that on this forum, though). As to safety, if you get hit in any way other than a light "fender bender" tap, you're going to get hurt or killed. 
There's still time to back out.

I sense there are some male egos feeling slightly threatened here. Is it a 'two-roll-bar' vs. 'no-roll-bar' thing, Pat?

Hmmm, I'd never thought of that.  Maybe cscobra Era 774 could give us some insight there.... |

Until I learned that you drive one, I wasn't sure I could handle it.

As far as the woman in the Cobra, that had disaster written all over it. She was clearly in over her head; the unlatched passenger door was the cherry on top of the sundae. That was just awful, she should have known better than to drive the car, but I still feel really badly for her.

Oh snap! Natalie, you fit right in and I now have to agree with Rodnock. So when are we getting our cobra?
