It like owning a Lambo but you cannot drive it very far without having your
kidneys in your hands.
The same applied to the old Cobra. No top, one seat, poor craftsmanship, no
radio, and so forth. I want something that not only goes fast but rock with
1000watt stereo, cruise the highways, and so on.

Heh - You always seem to be able to throw me for a loop, Steve! ;-)
I figured you were joking and then I read this? The AC Cobra *has*
to be one of the most beautiful automobiles ever to grace a highway!
(It pains me to say that seeing as how its Ford powered, but I've
gotta tell it like it is.) If I had a whole bunch of disposable
income, I would build one of those Cobra kit cars with a Viper V10
in the engine bay.
PS: I have to ask... What do poor materials and creature comforts
have to do with its looks? :-)
