600+ HP on an engine dyno or a chassis dyno? Do you have the dyno sheets to prove it? Also, now that you are in California and they have banned race fuel, how are you going to run your high compression motor? Biofuel
Driving around town vs highway driving?

How many times have we heard of new owners who "knew they could handle it" and "knew what they were doing" who have been killed, or killed someone with their cars? How about how many that have crashed them? Really does not matter if it's a high or low HP car, if you cannot adapt to the short wheel base and the HP vs light chassis then you had better treat the car with kid gloves. I side on caution with each and every potential buyer for any of my Cobras. I'd rather lose a sale and save a life than the opposite...But then again, that is just me.
Attack me for what I say, I'm a big boy and I can take it....However, I do speak from 25+ years playing around with these cars (real and replica) on a semi weekly basis.Street and track related....With my first one I had something to prove, with my 20th one(purchased for the track last month), I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself.
Bottom line, buy one because you like it and want it, regardless of who's kit/brand, beware of those who say "mine is better than theirs"(sales technique is a sales technique, be it a new car or a used car), but most of all, treat it with respect, build your abilities in the car slowly, or it could kill you or someone you care about.
