I think all cobras, whether they are kits, rollers, continuations, replicas, or fakey-dos, are equally fun to drive. I bought mine for the fun factor. If I had an original, I would be afraid to drive it as I might just total a piece of automotive history. And isn't that what most of us bought them for? Not to pretend they are original, but to drive them and relive a time when you actually had to drive the car and if you screwed up, it would bite you. I know that whenever I'm driving mine, I can't think about anything else or I'll end up seeing where I've been more than where I'm going.
Just my opinion, of course, but mine has 23,000 miles after 6 years and it still makes me giggle when I start it up.
Would that be a middle of the road giggle?
