...yeah, I agree it looks pretty cool, but it probably shouldn't be doing that. I never really spent that much time optimizing the setup for auto-x. It just steers too slow and hard with the big 295 section Hoosier A6's up there. I haven't autocrossed the car for quite some time.
As far as the rain protection goes, I've never had a soft top on a Cobra, but I have had some experience with relatively rudimentary soft tops a la MGB... The side windows and around the top of the windscreen is where you get the most influx in a hard downpour, and believe me, I've been in a couple. That's one of the things I really enjoy about the hardtop is the ability it gives you to not give a darn about the weather.. It's not like a modern car by any means, so I keep a couple microfibers with me, but it certainly beats no top at all. It all comes down to how much time you spend sealing things up...I could probably spend a little more time in this area, but for what I have done, I'm relatively satisfied.
