But I think most that sell quickly just didn't realize what it takes to own and use these cars to make them worthwhile, the're used to a Z06 with A/C, CD player and all the creature comforts that a Cobra doesn't have......and once you get caught in a big rain storm far from home, your outlook on a Cobra changes.......
It takes a real car guy to own,drive,maintain and keep a Cobra for any length of time......

This pretty much captured my experience. I loved the Cobra, wife hated it. Had a Mustang and the Cobra, only room for one car in the garage so she could have the other side back and the Mustang sold first (bummer). So the Cobra still had to go and got the Ford GT instead. It's civilized enough for her and fun enough for me.
By the way, it's not getting caught in a rainstorm in a Cobra that is a bummer. It's having to stop at a stop light that gets uncomfortable.
