Replica's of Cobra's can be too popular, i think. Cobra's are in many adds for things, very common to see this in the English car mags. Even when i was reading the Porsche forums, (my son has a Boxster), the Porsche guys in Europe were saying the only American car over there that gets "respect" is a Cobra, certainly not Corvette's. So they are a timeless car, and get attention from all sorts of people, as we all know.

When the 2Fast/2Furious movie was reviewed in Autoweek, about how it came to be made, apparantly they asked for any Rice car to show up for an audition. They of course selected also some classic American cars for the show, the first one of course featured the Charger. But the director of the recent sequel would not put any Cobra's in his move.

I think it was because no matter what role a Cobra played in amoungst the Rice and Iron cars, it would have overshadowed all the other cars in the move. And the movie is about Pocket Rockets, and a Cobra would have made them secondary in fan interest.

My opinion. I am sure we CC guys would have paid to see it, though!!
