While the primary reason I went looking for a West Coast built Cobra was the longer wheelbase and (slightly) increased legroom, the more robust frame (
Cobra Chassis Information) was also something that appealed to me. I'm certainly not looking for a collision, but the additional structural members in these cars is certainly some comfort should such an unwanted event occur. The downside, of course, is a car that weighs significantly more than many other Cobras, but that's something I am quite prepared to accept.
