This!!! The Cobra is what is referred to as "a man's car". It has no power anything. Turning the steering wheel while moving is a task, let alone trying to jockey it to and fro while still on pavement. Braking can sometimes be a two foot proposition. Headlights barely reach a couple of car lengths out. Tail lights barely visible (unless as some you upgrade to LEDs). And just like a Harley, you won't deliberately take it out in a rainstorm.

Visit with some folks at car shows is an excellent suggestion, and a good way to get familiar with the various makes and models out there.

You don't state your budget, alot hinges on how much money you have to spend. You should check out Cobra Country | The World's #1 Shopping Mall for Cobra Buyers & Sellers to get a feeling for pricing of the various makes/models...

Good luck!
