It looks likes an interesting car, but why have two of you now put the car up for sale without even putting more than 4,000 miles on the car?

Why do you care ?? Hell a lot of cars come up like that. How about like me I am getting bored with my car.. I had an original one for 5 years.. Guess I have a 5 year limit on my cars. Is that bad ?

Like most of us around here, I have bought many, many cars over the years. And one of the first questions I ask the seller is "so, why are you selling this beautiful car?" You don't think that's a reasonable question to ask?

I have a young daughter and with her activities etc. I barley have time to drive the car. Not selling because of the car, selling because of my situation. Also. if you know these cars well, it's not a car you hop in quickly and take to the store. It takes a good 5 or so minutes to get enough heat into the engine for it to perform at its peak. In other words, you have to prepare yourself mentally to drive this beast. Don't get me wrong, i love driving the car but my life doesn't afford me the luxury being able to drive as often as i would like.

I understand completely. A 700HP Cobra is a very special car. It's not for everybody. In fact, it's not even suitable for a lot of Cobra owners. It will sell though, as it's a very special car.
