Cobra Make & Engine: Some polish thing... With some old engine

IMHO Porsche is the antithesis of a Cobra/GT40.

The 996 does represent a lot of finely tuned engineering for comparatively very little money... and to be honest, they're growing on me.

A Cobra on the other hand is what I call sledge hammer engineering... Weirdly, its because of this that it appeals to me.

I agree.... For the money it's a hard car to beat. Such great quality and engineering. I would take my cobra any day of the week over a 996 TT but they are still better than 90% of the new cars coming out. I have not had the pleasure of being in a SPF gt40 but that is the only other car I have a desire for at this time.
