GT40 or Cobra?

Jeff-

I've had an ERA 427 a Kirkham 427 and a CAV GT40 -

I would be glad to give you details but to be succinct, I drove my ERA and my Kirkham much more than I drive the GT40.

A Cobra is a fun driving experience, the GT40 is a serious driving experrience.

Fun ALWAYS wins out.

Interesting stuff. I really enjoy the heck out of my Cobra and I've often thought about a GT40. They're two very different animals and the feedback from those of you who've owned both sort of confirms my uneducated guesses about how the two would compare.

I've never owned a Cobra, but wouldn't trade my SPF GT40 for one. Previous comments are right on. The 40 definitely draws more attention (I drive frequently with a Cobra club). The 40 is faster on a track day- better handling and aerodynamics. Downside is visibility in traffic is bad and even with A/C it's warm.
