After doing some actual play testing with cars around the Cobra's rank, I can happily say that you guys are overreacting.

Of course, for an Elite, Champion or 1900+ PRO player, the Cobra isn't the best choice anymore. However, 1000-1900 players can still do very well with the Cobra.

My GLC Coupe outruns Cobras at rank 1099, while Porsche 959s CAN outrun Cobras at rank 1130 (but usually don't). BMW M2s outrun Cobras when below rank 1200. However, the Cobra is more suited to a rank at around 1250+. Even if the Cobra is worse than the BMW M2 (I don't know if it is true. Also, if it is true, I don't know by how much it is worse) it has a faster rate of acceleration and it doesn't need to be repaired. This is similar to the Evoque vs GLC Coupe fight.

The Cobra mainly has to fear other Cobras and the SLK, although the SLK is fairly rare. The Sagaris doesn't even compete at 1250-1300, only at 1350+. The Camaro has a similar rank bracket to the Sagaris.

Overall, you're safe with a 1250-1300 Cobra. Don't leave it at 1234, since many players will be at 1234.

I don't personally own the Cobra, but I'm nearly at 900 licenses, so I'm possibly going to have it soon.
