Loud, smelly, and dangerously hot! Sounds like a Cobra to me
(I do appreciate and respect the effort of others to tame the snake. Ol' Shelby started with a street car after all. We all buy these things with different goals in mind.
If I had a child with special needs, I would also think of him/her first, like the OP does. If it would be easier, I would get a different car, perhaps more user friendly. If I had to have a Cobra, I would definitely get a street configuration, or at the very least, underbody pipes.
The car was/is/always will be a hybrid, a Frankenstein of sorts. Whatever you do to it, pretty much goes...)
Cheers!
