I think for a lot of guys a owning a Cobra is like having a supermodel girl friend. Beautiful to look at, absolutely incredible when driven hard. But Expensive, high maintenance, noisy…and wives hate them!! LOL
They were in love with the dream, but the reality isn’t what they expected.
We all know how different a Cobra really is. Until you spend some time in the saddle, you just can’t understand it. They require a very high level of operator involvement from all aspects, cost, maintenance, driving.
I heard a guy with a brand new SPF owner say once: “Uhhh, its nothing like my M3…”
Holy Crap! That was an understatement! I don’t think I ever saw him again.
I always tell people “It’s just like a flat bottom boat. Bumpy, windy, noisy, you kinda sit on it, not in it. Only seats two. Ya gotta be careful around the pipes.
And lastly, they really aren’t for novices.
However, it’s the most fun you can have burning gasoline..
