Two reasons, really.
Firstly, I'm just curious to know. It's one of those little trivial bits of info on the Cobra that I like to have in mind.
Secondly, I was trying to calculate the theoretical top speed for my SPF and needed these figures (see
http://vlsicad.ucsd.edu/~sharma/Potpourri/perf_est.html). I realize that aerodynamic drag would be a major factor for the Cobra in roadster form (as we all know the Daytona Coupe's vastly improved aerodynamics resulted in huge speed gains at the top end).
I think I read somewhere that the Dodge Viper roadster's cd was in the neighborhood of 0.45-0.49, which would suggest that the Cobra's is nearer to 0.55 or so as eschaider points out.
