rdorman,
I have built and sold more Street "R" versions than SC or Competition versions to date. That's what most "purist" COBRA owners seem to want to drive. 70% in Red, also. I've always dumped the exhaust out the side in front of the rear wheels in lieu of the rear exit "dualies". Didn't want to melt the tops as they did often in the 60's. A few "melts" were even warrantied by SAI.
