^Super 7 (I have no idea the actual numbers actually, but if there's any, Super 7 is the best bet)

Default Cool or very uncool.

A genuine Cobra is very cool. A replica is a pathetic piece of glassfibre-bodied lump for the wannabes. If you can't afford the real deal (who can?), buy something else that is light and has a big V8. I can recommend a Morgan +8, but a TVR will also do the trick.

Ok, that's right. And they don't use glassfibre I suppose...
Although I wouldn't be upset if someone gave me a new Shelby Cobra, I still think that they somehow fall between the 60's ones and the replicas.
