It was definitely a sunny day driver. But I did autocross it a couple of times, which it was quite a handful. That led to an interest in road racing, which led to the sale of the FFR Cobra and the purchase of a '95 Mustang Cobra, which was gutted, caged, and tracked at Road Atlanta, VIR, etc.
As a data point, there used to be a couple of vendors that made soft and hard tops for the FFR's.

Thanks Daniel, glad you had a good experience building and driving.
I was reminded yesterday of the kind of compromises a Cobra bring. The weather, like many places, can change on a dime around here. I left my windows open on a bright sunny day, and when we got home a short time later a whole bunch of electronics were wet.
I think the Cobra would be a ton of fun to own, just not as a primary 'nice appearing day' driver.
