The old Excalibur Cobras burnt more than normal due to the exhaust system. They ran catalytic converters which get super hot and they had them right against the under part of the car. I have seen several that burnt so hot they melted the steering columns and other metal and aluminum parts.

My main concern would be the wiring and fuel. I check my fuel hoses regularly and look for any sign of leaks. I also ground my fuel intake as I have seen a couple of Cobras that exploded and burnt at gas stations when the nozzle was removed due to gas fumes and a spark created by static electricity.
