Best of luck in the vet world, I know mile for mile the vet will hold it value better and even better you will have piece of mind.

I agree... and disagree. I would bet money that the Kirkham would have less depreciation over the next year or 2 than the vette will. But that's ok.
I think basically, the reason most people here who have commented brashly to the thread are the facts... he knew it was a race car, he knew it would be loud and obnoxious, that it had no A/C, no power steering, and wasn't meant to have a top. Yet those are his exact reasons for hating it!
Bottom line, I've heard it over and over again since I've joined CC... If you don't like, loud, obnoxious, smelly, POS... Then you don't want a cobra! For the most part, those "gear heads" will always love the car for the exact reasons that others hate 'em!

IMO, he'll enjoy his Vette better. He was meant for the vette. At least he knows now that a cobra is not for him although I think if he had initially posted what HE wanted. Most of the guys on this board would have told him to buy a vette.
