Well, I've decided to sell my Cobra. I love the car, and it was my daily driver until about three weeks ago when I bought a Civic to replace it. I drive close to 100 miles a day on the interstate and I hated just racking up the mileage on this car going to work, so I bought an economy car.
The car runs/drives great, and there are no driveability issues with the car. I put in the new engine at around 80K miles when the stock engine developed a knock. Since then almost every mile put on the car has been on the interstate going to work each day. (I have a 1.5-2 hour commute to work and back.) The only issues are some rock chips on the hood, the top portion of the rear passenger fender has faded a little more than the rest of the car for some reason, and the rear end has some gear whine from when the previous owner had the gears installed. There are also a few small dents in the passenger side door that aren't really noticeable unless you are fairly close to the door at an angle. Other than a few small nicks from being driven everyday for the last four years, there really isn't anything that affects the driveability/reliability of the car.
A few months ago, I had the rear bumper and trunk repainted because someone backed into me in a parking lot, scratching the rear of the car, before driving off without leaving any kind of information.
I haven't even taken it to the track since the new engine went in. To give you an idea of how the car gets treated, it still had the stock clutch until a few months ago when it finally decided to give out. It's been a fun, great car for the past few years, but I felt bad putting so many miles on it as my daily driver. Now hopefully it can be enjoyed the way it was meant to be driven.
Please call or email me with any questions you have.
