The Porsche is OK....I've had a bunch. But they are toys compared to a Shelby Cobra. Pulling 1.1gs in a corner with a decent tire setup. The acceleration is so violent, words just can't express it. Mine dropped into the 9's over the weekend.(read slicks) The beast makes all the other cars I've ever had (Ferraris, Vipers, Porsches, Vettes, etc..) seems like toys. It's a man's car to be sure...my wife would drive the turbo shoppping. But the Cobra scares her to death. Most people won't accept a 2nd test ride after the first. With brakes Porsche owners would kill to have (just no ABS...scary!!)Sorry, no A/C, radio, windows, top, power seats, heated mirrors, engine computer or much of anything else that would slow it down. Basically, a seat on an engine....think of it as an earth-bound Saturn 5 rocket with wheels. Can't wait for the supercharger and nitrous....1500HP anyone?
