Sorry you had a bad experience with your home built cobra but that does not make all home built kit cars bad. In fact some factory built production cars can be dangerous. GMC and Chevy recalled the Envoy series when they first came out because the front end had bad tie-rod ends and brand new ones were subject to this part failing and the car running off the road. The point is just because it is "pro" built does not mean it is any better than a home built car.

I built my Hunter Cobra and I built it with my own safety in mind so I was extra careful and not in a hurry. In all "Kit" cars you have a lot of human involvement and as you know many people who work for companies couldn't care less about quality and are just looking for a paycheck. Even the ones who are very careful are subject to a mistake.

My philosophy is to know as much about my own car and look for problems myself. That is the only way I know it is done to my satisfaction.
