Mike,
What are you looking to understand or talk about? Or are you just curious and want to drive a Cobra?
The cars you have versus the Cobra will be very different as you state.
M5 = Refinement and scary fast
vs.
Cobra that = NO refinement and is scary fast
Enclosed sound insulated airbagged stereo equipped cocoon
vs.
No top, wind screen with wind wings 4 or 5 point harness (cigarette lighter -
hey it was made in the early 90's) LOUD.
911 - no real good canyon roads in our part of NJ - so no worries on that comparison.
I live nearby to you. I would be glad to take you for a ride when the streets and rt. 208 are cleaned up in the spring. Although, I do not have a small block. It is big and has about 550hp.
What does you .5 child actually look like?
