Totally agree with you you on that one. Everytime I had to sell one of my cobras I always regretted it. Initially I had sold my 2004 Redfire to a member on here if memory serves me right. It had a whipple on it, Longtubes, etc. it was a nuts car to drive. It made really good power I want to say about 680 or so to the wheels. I had some slicks in the back and man it was fun. These cars have always been a dream to me. So to have them it always nice, I can’t ever get the same smile I get from driving my cobras, even driving my 13 GT500, or the hellcat. Only one that gives me a smile factor is my 88 foxbody. That cars slower than most snails on the road. However the sound it makes idling, and under WOT is stupid awesome. You hit the nail on the head. This is why we do what we do. We all chase something. I think each one of my cars has its own “purpose”.Absolutely, there's just something to it. Especially when you have an affinity for these vehicles. I went through two GT500's a few years ago (07-09's) and while I really liked them I just don't miss them like I know i'd miss a Terminator. GT500's are smoother, more comfortable, easier to drive but it's just not as "good" of a car to me.
Totally in the same vein. A TT coyote checks so many boxes with having insane power, drivability, comfort and technological niceties. I've never driven a '68 but I bet there's just not much like it. I love a simple vehicle that's about making the right noises and providing a special experience while driving. That's a big part of why we all do this stuff right? All chasing something, whether it's the process of a build, trying to be faster or trying to have a good time.
