There are at least 40-50 'Cobras' in the Phx area, and unless I'm at a car show, drive, or AZ Cobra function I see one maybe 5 times a year. But if I saw one every day I'd still want one. I'm not building mine to stroke my ego, have the most exclusive car in town, have the fastest thing on the road, etc. I'm building it because I've wanted one since I was 14 and because of the way they make you feel while driving it.
If I wanted the most unusual car around there are many other choices, if I wanted an ungodly fast/great handling car I could do it for far less than the modest $25K I'm spending. I wanted a Cobra, for all the things that make is such a great car, not something to make me stand out from a crowd or get people to look at me. If I wanted that I could just wear a funny hat.
