Again, great Cobras. |
Agreed with all of the above, except that I just can't bring myself to like the body modifications/reshaping. I never liked the look in pictures but I reserved judgement until I got up close and personal with one in the flesh in Las Vegas. The elongated and drooped section of the door area and the fishface radiator opening really kill my libido for what is otherwise a great sports car.
It's no tire-shredding 427SC clone, but it never pretended to be - just a nice, well-balanced, more modern evolution of the old AC Cobra 289 Sports. I actually even like the interior and dash treatment and thinking of emulating that in my rebuild.
