For one there is no room that I've ever seen to fit a functional folding top onto a Cobra. There isn't a lot of room even for a road map let alone a real top. The options are a Robbins top (per original), a tonneau cover, or a hard top cover. That's about it. You have to consider driving a Cobra is like a motorcycle or a trike. To be honest with you, I would love to drive my car everyday but not as a designated driver. There are just toooo many times where incidents happen that would NOT be a good out come for a Cobra. When I drive my Cobra it's like driving a motorcycle, you worry about everything else and no one seeing you. I'm very cautious!!

Now as far as owning a Cobra that's comfortable. Well, I think mine is but would I drive it 300 miles and not feel it, heck no! These cars are to me a lot of fun BUT stressful to say the least. If I had a lot of open road it would be a lot better but in town driving sucks! Just saying! Honestly and with no offense, I'd say spend the money on a newer Corvette. From experience, it just doesn't sound like a Cobra is for you. Regards, Matt
