I can sometimes drive the cobra for miles without anybody so much as noticing me and without being modest my cobra is not hard to look at with a 585HP 427 it is a beast , titanium and black , SPF 17" fully polished wheels , 335s , lowered to the ground

The FORD GT is unlike the replica GTs in so many ways I cant even begin to go into it , most people will drive a lifetime and never see a FORD GT on the road , there are a dozen cobras in my neighbourhood

Also dont forget the FORD GT is a classic and will appreciate with age , unfortunately none of our replicars will ever get that chance

I feel comfortable talking on this topic as I cannot be critical either way as I am on both sides of the fence

As previously noted on this thread , just my $.02
Actually, I have seen as many Ford GTs on the road as Cobra replicas.
