Man he did a great job with that car. I actually was looking into the Cobra kits before I bought my vette. I still enjoy seeing them :) .

Very nice

That's my next car! But who knows when. I plan to go with Factory Five, I don't think I saw a reponse to the "who's kit is that?" question? Must be nice to see where your bills are going! If only the IRS would let us drive the many Cobras-worth they've taken....

Someday I will build one. I saw a red one down in Va. Beach that had 650 HP. This car was barely controllable. Looked like a blast to drive.

Oh, it's a car, I was expecting a snake.


Looks good. I've always wanted one for fun, but I'd have to put a Chevy in it. Cost:HP ratio is better than a Ford :thumbs:

Leslie and I drove the Z to Starbucks for a cup of coffee when two Cobras, a blue one and a red one, coincidently pulled into the parking lot. What a sight, they are gorgeous cars! A Cobra is what my wife would really like to own and drive :rolleyes:

A BB in a cobra replica IMO is a waste. They really dont "hook up" all that well, very light. My buddy has a 302 in his and it is very quick and uncontrollable if you are not careful. Very sweet cars.
