Tom: Thanks. I hoped you guys would enjoy that one.
The Cobra is easier to see out of in sideviews and rearward since it has no top.
The FGT is very tricky at intersections that aren't perfect "T" intersections where one part of the "T" is at an angle and you have to look to your right and back slightly to see oncoming traffic. Forget it. You just can't. You have to square the car off to the intersection to see. MAJOR blind spot. It can be scary. But once you learn to compensate by angleing the car off so you are at 90 degrees to the intersection street every things fine. Rearview sight straight back is limited too. You mainly see that supercharger and that spining pully and belt on the supercharger. You just have to be careful but the sideviews mirrors are great.
Once your underway the only word I have to describe the FGT is its "epoc" (quoting Jermey Clarkeson from Top Gear). You can drive it for hours on end. Its comfy, air conditioned, the window go up and down with the push of a button, it handles great, looks gorgeous and goes like stink and from all the design cues you are constantly reminded you are driving the modern day Ford GT40. It makes all the right exhaust sounds even in stock trim. I have a Ford Racing Exhaust which put out a little more sound. I am soon putting on a custom exhaust fabricated by a tuning house in California specialing in FGTs that will give it more of the V8 rumble it is missing to a degree.
The FGT is a sophiscated sexy gal that you love and never want to leave.
The Cobra, well we all know what thats like. Loud, hot, exhaust fumes, vibration and rumble from that monsterous V8, doors that feel like Doritos and the sense that if you put your foot in it at the wrong moment at the wrong time on any turn it could be your last. Its sensory overload. 45 minutes in a Cobra on a hot summer day, you can't taste, your ears ring, your hair looks like its you stuck your finger in a electrical socket, you smell like V8 exhaust and your all sweaty.... In short, it doesn't get much better for the true Cobra nut and muscle car guy.
The Cobra is that hot chick with the belly button ring and the tattoo above her arse that you can only take for a few hours, get your fill and want to leave only to find yourself wanting to go back for more very soon thereafter.
I think you get the picture.
P.S. Dean: As great as the FGT is please don't give up your left nut for one and especially don't give it to that Pakistani!!!! There are better ways to acquire a FGT.
