I don't know about the rest of these guys, but when you pop the hood and show off the engine, you lose the WOW factor with a coyote engine.

Why buy a 50 year old design with no power steering, cruise control, antilock brakes, launch control, electric windows, cup holders, decent heater and then put a modern fuel injected, electronic snakepit that you won't be able to work on even if you wanted to.

If your goal is to have a sports car that handles well, is comfortable, isn't loud or stinky, then there are better choices out there.

For me, a cobra is meant to have a smelly, throbbing, cantankerous, leaky pushrod engine that always needs attention just like the originals did (with a few modern upgrades).

But that's just me.
