I dont own one yet, but thats the plan. My girlfriend hit me up the other night saying..i want to build a car, and not just any car..a Cobra SC...so here we are. Gotta love a woman like that.

So i've been looking at all the options out there wrt diff kits, etc.

So send me some of your grand knowledge..and understanding everyone has their preference. Just gaging diff opinions. Yet we're not going to jump into it for another year...

Giving all the options out there...which is the better kit to build...thanks and great to be here....lots to read up on for sure...

i currently own an 07 Shelby GT500...i like to go fast...
What is best for you vs what your budget is will be the key. At the very least, a car with rear coil overs, 3 link or IRS rear suspension as well. Big block or small block, or this kit vs that kit comes in to play as well. Do not allow one or two people to sway you, go out and find a group of local Cobra owners and compare their cars side by side. Work up your budget (add 20% on to your highest figure to play it safe), then go from there. Also, do not be afraid to ask questions if there is something that you do not understand, that is one of the reasons why places like this exist. Most of all, enjoy the research and the hunt.


Yours In Fords,


Bill S.
