If you can get away with driving it year round why not. We would hate you if you tried to drive the Cobra in the winter though. lol

Plus i don't have time to clean my GT every weekend having 3 kids like most can.So i only bring it out on nice days to fix that issue,....i take it out after hours when the rush our traffic is down due to London drivers, (i've driven in a lot of cities/towns,and none are like London,just trust me when i say that
),and when i do take it out,i drive it the way it is ment too,meaning it sees some good 1/4 mile duty.None of this whimpy rpm launching,and shifting,i'm talking 4000 to 4500 rpm launches,and 6200/6300 rpm shifts,if it had a built bottom end,and ported heads,it would see the 7000 rpm range where these cams will work.But at the same time,i take car of it.Besides the rubber build up in the rear inner wells,most would think it's pampered LOL!
I didn't take offence to your post,just wanted to give my two cents for someone like me in my situation.
Some enjoy to drive them on a daily basis,while other rather sit,and detail days on end,and others only take it out to shows,and do some racing of their choice.
Everyone has a different view on how they use their toy.

^^^I am guessing that will be my range. Lots of shows to attend so the k's pile up lol. People that know me will tell you I bought it for a waxing platform 99.0% of the time and shows the other 1.0%. When I go to a show I am generally sitting no where near my car so at that it's not a "look at my car" as no one knows who the owner is. I have had to yell 100+ feet for the odd ******** to keep the mitts off but otherwise I am sitting behind Ross's Kevins kasioboys etc car shooting the breeze. I will walk over to my car every hour or so and dust her off as black is not a kind color at shows.
I guess being a professional driver for 25+ years and millions of k's later I do not find driving all that enjoyable to be honest which is like a mechanic coming home and having to work on his or someone else's car=not fun. I am a huge believer in this "if you enjoy driving yours by all means have at it" For me not so much lol.

No matter how much you've driven you must still have fun driving your car. How can anyone not have fun with a supercharged 5.4 and 500 hp.
