I'm close to the end of my search for my Cobra and so I may be a fool and his money. Time will tell.

I have had more fun looking for the Cobra than I have had in a long time. I had to quickly decide on one manufacturer or go absolutely crazy with facts and figures. I wanted a big block at first, then moved to a small block 427. Fuel Injection was too expensive so a carb will be fine. It had to be a great looking engine! Given the economy it had to be well priced. So I was able to narrow it down and learn more as I researched it more. Yeah, I'm pretty methodical and that may not suit your style. The Club Cobra site was a great source of info. Reading threads and learning about what problems or opportunities get discussed in great detail.

What is most scary about this purchase is the number of 3 year old Cobras out there with less than 2,000 miles! Why is that? 90% of the time the answer is the wife won't go for a ride. I'm betting the $50k Cobra sits in the garage and is not a fun discussion with your wife about why it has been 6 months since you have started it up. You can't start it up because it is so noisy! It will wake the kids, the neighbors, the wife. Just let her burn herself getting out once, and your little Cobra is screwed!

Have fun!
