Mo, I think you're making a mistake for a number of reasons. First, you can buy 2 Cobras for 1 Viper. Second, the Cobra is an American Icon, the Viper isn't. You can own a Cobra for years, leave it to your kids, or sell it and get your money back. You can't say that about a Viper. And a Cobra is a lot more of a ball to drive.

If you got jerked around by an SPF dealer, talk to Olthoff Racing in N.C. Somebody here should have their phone #. They'll treat you right.

I tend to like the Creature comforts of a Classic Roadsters. Below is a thread called Undecided by Don Scott. Don is the Owner/President of Classic Roadsters, and has on of his Customers cars set up for a big block. See what he has to say.

Oh, Factory service? Yes, your Viper is a Mopar, and any Mopar dealer will service it. But a Cobra is a Ford, with all Ford parts. Take your Cobra to any Ford dealership and the service techs will fight over which one will work on your car.

Lastly, we're not nameless, faceless people behind a computer screen. We're an older, professional bunch that like fast cars. You'll find this out for yourself at local and national events.

It's your money.
