Which one of you is the male in this relationship?

The man has a point, but a few more questions are in order -
1. Cobra's are a damn fine looking auto, putting anything less behind the wheel would be disservice to us all as well as the car
2. You can build a mild mannered cobra with an automatic that would remove some of the risk of her "diving expertise". If she is hard over on a standard, then you should let her test drive one in a safe place 1st (like the airstrip at an abandoned AF base).
3. You building the car does afford you some options, how's the relationship generally? A properly insured cobra should return all expenses paid on a total, and of course you would have a free & clear path to the Z06.
But realistically, what looms big in all our minds (even if some have chosen to remain silent on it), is your dilemma as you have posted it. You are working through the negotiation process that most of us have already gone through with our WIVES! If she is just your girlfriend, this almost becomes a no brainer (provided she is not supporting you and would be buying the Z06 - that's a biggie). Assuming that's not the case, it's real simple -
1. She doesn't have a vote on the Z06 period.
2. She should pay for all parts & materials to build the cobra, plus you for you labor (you can pro-rate based on how good the sex is) lol.
