I don't care how quick it might be - if I wanted nothing but quick (see above comments about the straightline and 'cross crowd), I could build an ERA or Kirkham just as quick and it would at least have the correct Cobra look, not one that screamed "cheap knockoff."

I'll reiterate that a good part of the FFR crowd seems to care very little about it being a Cobra, just a randomly chosen "nice look" to hang go-fast on. Not my cup of tea. This car stands as Exhibit A, IMVHO.
My Classic Roadsters is probably the most far off from the original of all the cars, and every single person who sees it wants to know if it is a real Cobra



PS: I don't think that original Cobras had red spark plug wires and red flip top radiator caps !!!!
