I seem to the voice of performance non authentic Cobra's, welcome to the Dark Side. If you want the look of a Cobra but modern performance I would look for a car with all Corvette C4 and newer suspension and rectangle tube or space frame chassis they would tend to be stronger than round tube. For an engine the only choice would be a GM LS , PERIOD! Performance, cost, parts availability , ease of repair its the GM LS end of story. Put that together with a matching 5 or 6 speed and you will have a world beater that you could take the kids to school or the track on the weekend. And don't listen to the chorus of the "only a Ford in a Cobra" crowd!
