Saw 6 Cobras Driving Downtown...

What years?

*testarossa

kit cars or real cars? would be awfully rare to see that many originals in one spot...

the orignal cobras aren't as wide as most of the kits... you'll see kit cars with 335 and 355 size tires in back, and they don't look out of place at all. Sometimes there are more curves with the kit cars... and obviously some kit cars come with tags that say 429/460/351 etc... engines that never came in factory Cobras. The kit cars are bigger in general too... more comfortable and such. The front end is almost always different, but its hard to describe.

And this all depends on the kit, some are made to replicate the orginals better than others, while some are built for all out performace (IE the ones with stroked 460s, 5 speed TKOs and the aformentioned 355 tires in back). The vast majority of Cobras you will see though, these days, are kits. Especially in Cali (I live across the freeway from a place that sells them), they're everywhere (relatively, heh)

There are a lot of very rich people that vacation in this area though, so who knows, they were all older (50, 60) year old guys drivin em.

Hey, I fit in that "older" guys catagory, but not in the "very rich people" one. I was on a telephone pole last week in Silverado Canyon working on a phone line when an "older" guy goes cruising by in a blue and white Cobra. Can't wait to retire and do that to pass the time during the day in my Stang.

i got another 50 years before i get to waste time doing that...
