Regardiing using a Cobra replica as a daily driver and driving it to work, there is an aspect of this that no one above has commented on yet - they reek of fuel and exhaust fumes and by the time you jsut back out of the garage you will too. A fuel injected motor will lessen the stench somewhat, but not eliminate it. If you work in a business where it won't be a problem to smell like a refinery all day then other than being able to stand yourself, you may be OK. It won't endear your wife or girlfriend to you on a daily basis either. Plus, day in and day out use - you will probably be deaf in no time from exhaust noise and wind buffeting.
