I guess I've got close to 40k into mine (don't tell my wife). I believe I have gotten more enjoyment out of building it than buying a turnkey. Hard to describe but there is a real attachment you get after building your own car from scratch.

Now there are some who do not have the expertise or space to build a car and buying one, or a turnkey, is one way of getting into a Cobra.

Many people who buy Cobras or turnkey Cobras do not have the same feeling toward the car, it's just another weekend toy. Many people who do not build tend to dispose of the cars quicker than the builders. Now I'm sure I'll get some heat on this but remember that I'm not saying ALL, only many.

Would I build a Cobra Roadster again? Certainly not...I'd build a Daytona Coupe!!
