Great question. I've always wanted a Cobra but in recent years have owned a couple of Corvette Z06s--a 2004 C5 and a 2008 C6. I simply found it easier and less risky to acquire new Corvettes than to find just the right Cobra to my tastes. I bought both Corvettes at deep discounts, which made them hard to resist. Still have the C5 Z06, though it is up for sale.
I would replace the C5 Z06 with a Cobra if I found the right one, no question. (Which is why I read these boards.)
I'm keeping the 2008 C6 Z06 for sure, though. It's the other end of the spectrum from the Cobra in terms of refinement--a complement to a Cobra rather than a substitute. The C5 Z06 is arguably closer to the Cobra in rawness.
