Now my C5 vette convertable has all the amenities, cruise,ac,abs,traction control ,active handling and magnetic ride control.
100% different animal to drive and more all around sutible for al occasions than the cobra.

I am fortunate to have both but if one had to go it would be a tuff decission,bottom line would be practicality I guess for myself at the time.
The Vette is easily a daily driver where the cobra is not,base your determination and needs as appropriate for yourself.
I would disagree with the extremely uncomfortable on long drives part. We put close to 3000 miles on our Cobra last summer during our vacation and it was very comfortable. In fact I'm more comfortable in the Cobra than I am in my wifes Jeep SRT/8. The seats in that thing kill my back.
