A Viper V-10 in a Cobra is a PERFECT idea! I'm still disgusted with Shelby for "hooking up" with Olds for the Series 1. And driving a Viper is NO WAY the same thing as driving a Cobra. I DID consider buying a Viper instead of a Cobra, but they are NOT the same. Close cousins maybe!

Cobra is: Mom, apple pie, baseball, hot dogs,,,it's an American ICON. It's so totally over the top "special" nothing else even comes close. Viper is that guy wearing the "gold chain" around his neck, looks good, kinda cool, but your not sure he's "down home friendly".

Perhaps like a Ferrari or Lambo or Viper or Vette, a little intimidating? A cobra? People feel welcome, friendly, no gold chain here, a nice comfy "sweater" kind of feel that says, "Everyone welcome, THIS is the peoples car". Young, old, male, female,,,tell me WHO doesn't like a Cobra? It's appeal is universal, it is a LEGEND without peer. Replica or original, ordinary people don't care, what they see is a very COOL car!
