There is NO "Reasonably OK". It is often confused with the "I'll let YOU "Think it's OK" condition.

I don't know about you guys, but doesn't this thread remind you a lot of "rsimones"?
Just thinking about that gentleman, I would recommend that you purchase the Ferrari. If you just don't "feel" the Cobra, then it's probably not the right car. I too love Ferrari's, but I always knew I wanted a Cobra more. |

I'm with Rodknock.....this gentleman needs to go on and get himself a red-headed Italian....it's what he really wants.
The Cobra is not in his DNA or this decision would be easy to make.

I don't even know if there's a short version, but essentially, he asked 1,000,000 questions/threads prior to his purchase of a Cobra, and this after having owned an FFR and a SPF (if I remember correctly), debated between a CSX and a KMP, finally purchased a KMP, spent $127,000 on his KMP and sold it almost immediately after taking delivery for around $85,000-$90,000. After this long ordeal, he posted a very long remorseful goodbye and why he made a mistake and why others should be mindful of his experience prior to purchasing a Cobra. I think that's how it went.
At any rate, during this entire experience, he often compared his Cobra with a C5 Z06 he sold in order to get his Cobra. That's why the current OP's flirtation with a Ferrari seems to parallel the old thread.

Basically, he was just a pu$$y trying to pretend that he wasn't.  |

Basically, the cost of a fiberglass CSX, finished, and a Ferrari 360 Coupe (probably not a Spyder) will be very close in cost. At least to me it is. Hey, I like my Ferrari just as much as the next guy, but the choice was simple and easy for me.
Maybe the answer should be to buy a used SPF, check it out for a year or whatever, and then, if everything is just peaches, sell the SPF and buy the CSX. Sounds like a plan.
