I got a ride in the Unique Motorcar Cobra mentioned above!

It's a pretty car and basically what I'm looking for. My question is this:

Is it normal for a big block to want to shake the car apart? The cam feels so lopey, especially when cold. I didn't get to drive the car as the roads were still wet from the morning rain. I did get to ride shotgun... But the car just felt raw. I'm not necessarily complaining... I'm just wondering if these cars can take abuse. The clutch seems extra grabby (like an old 4 puck I had in one of the stages of my BMW) and shimmies the car if you don't engage it quite right. I plan to drive the car I purchase rather hard.

Does the fiberglass fatigue where it is fastened to the metal frame? Does anyone here have a Unique Motorcars Cobra that they don't just pamper? I'm a little concerned I suppose.
