My 21 year old son bristles whenever I use the words "resale value" and "Cobra" together and reminds me that I'm never selling it - it is his when I'm done with it. So, there's one cobra replica that will be around for a while. He likes the tuners and exotics, but likes the cobra better.

I recently had paint protection film put on my car and the installer's 15 year old son had just gone for a ride in another customer's McLaren. So, I followed suit and gave him a ride in the cobra. On a return trip to his shop a couple weeks later, his Dad told me he still talks about the cobra ride and liked it better than the McLaren. So, what's been said about the appeal of these cars is absolutely true. Nothing like it.
