If you want a really safe car, buy a BMW or a Mercedes, not a Cobra.

I'm prolly drilling down farther than I need to, but the more I learn, the more questions I have, this being just one of many to come.
As far as safety goes, I'm more concerned about the integrity of the structure and how it will hold up over time, not so much the crash-worthiness of it. Being a pilot & a former aircraft mechanic, I have a keen awareness of metal fatigue & the tradeoffs of weight vs. extra structural integrity. In comparing the BDR vs. the SPF vs. the ERA frames, it would seem that the BDR is on the lean side.
Thanks for all the good info tho, I've been learning so much these last few months, and I can tell you guys are knowledgeable & passionate about these cars.
