My wife can drive it and enjoy the cruise or I can take it out with the boys and hit the gas and curves! It has heat and wipers, is set up for air and has room for the golf clubs in the trunk. The previous owner was 6'-4 , 260 pds.
Everyone wants a 4 or 5 speed go drive one, this is my second Cobra and no one has feet from to shift. GO DRIVE A STICK THEN COME DRIVE MINE, you will buy this cobra!
