I met a guy this past summer that built a West Coast Cobra , 514 hp 460 ,auto,9" posi rear , 4 wheel disks, with all the goodies. We spoke for several hours at a car show and he said the following. He has had his car finished for 3 years ,he and his brother built the British racing green car with tan interior.He was impressed with the handling and quallity of the kit(drives his car alot).He was very unhappy with the kits instruction manuel but he helped the manufacturer correct a few flaws(so the newer manuel should be better). The dual rollbar was helpful for him to mount a sholder racing seatbelt setup and if you ever plan on racing your Cobra (even just for lessons) the track will require a dual rollbar for a passenger(instructor). He did tell me about his problems in getting a hardtop for his car and a somewhat air tight softtop is a problem but after all no Cobra is 100% problem free. Hope this helps and most people on the street cant see the body differences in a wider and longer car , all they know is its an awesome looking car.Olaf
