Perhaps the most fun of all, is driving a quality cobra that you put together, with the mods. you wanted and all the personal touches. When folks see your ride and love it, their compliments mean more because you did it.
Just my opinion.
My dream was to build an ERA, as after considerable research, I felt they were the best kit available. Still feel that way to this day.

I have the mechanical ability, tools and resources to do it. What I lacked was time. A normal work week ranges from 50 to 70+ hours. I just would not have had the time, and I know I could not have taken years to build it. I would have lost interest.

So for me a ready built and sorted out car was the answer. And I have never regretted my decision. I do have enough time to tinker with it when I need to relax, and that is almost as much fun as driving it.
