Hey Tongue,
I think they did not want to loose or dilute the market place of the vette that was selling like hotcakes. The Cobra in the end did outperform the Vettes on many tracks and I am sure cost them (GM) sales. Win on Sunday and increase sales on Monday was common place.
The Cobra never came close to the production numbers and decades of continued production like the Vette but Cobra holds a very special place in history. If the Cobra was manufactured on an assembly line and marketed like the Vette maybe the roles would have been reversed.
