All new Cobra people looking should be aware of the actual time it takes to build some of these cars, and time should be figured in the equation if you place a value on your time. If it takes 60 or 90 days longer to properly build an FFR compared to another car that only costs $2000 more to begin with, to me, this is a huge consideration to put on the table when considering what to buy, and (what you get for your money at delivery time) - IMHO.

See - this is the regular kind of junk you'll find on club cobra.
I don't think there is any net difference round vs. square for most mortal humans driving one of these cars. Sure there is if you're Dale Earnhardt Jr. Both have their merits.
Consideration for your time?! Uh it's a Hobby? HELLO?!
I have no idea how many hours I've put into building my FFR how I want. You know why?! I do *not* care. I'm enjoying the nuts, bolts, wires and all that comes with. I'm taking my time and enjoying it.
It's fun have a cobra (fake/real/replica - doesn't matter they'll all be fun). It's even more fun to build it from scratch how you want.
It's up to you to manage your time or decide what it's worth. Not other people so don't buy into that garbage.
It's *YOUR* car, do it how *YOU* want and ignore what others tell you what you should do with *YOUR* money.
