Good, Better, Best???
I like them all. I tell folks, they're the same, only different. The Cobra's a classic, beautiful body style, hiding a brute of a car, if you want it to be. Otherwise, it's a fantastic Sunday ride in the country, scaring small children and barnyard animals with the pipes. As stated, I hate to think about selling it, but I'm at a point where there's not enough time in a weekend to enjoy them all properly and I hate to have great machinery sit idle.
The Z8's a much more refined car. Still classically beautiful and unique. More of a touring car, but with 400hp it'll get up and go in an instant. Yet, a much smoother ride, heated seats, A/C, DSC, elec soft top, stereo, removable hard top and much quieter. The sound is muted, so you don't get the thrill of the open piped Cobra, nor the raw power. Plus, the short production run makes them more rare by the day.
The new Ford GT is somewhere in between. Wicked quick, nice sound, handles and rides very well and another timeless body style. It is not the touring machine the Z8 is, but it's also somewhat "softer" than the Cobra. As a hardtop, it also loses the open air sense of the drop-top cars. But it's a real blast to drive and enjoy on the open or twisty roads.
Now, if my wife will just stop talking about a new Z06! So many cars, so little time!!!
