OK, I'll start, but help me out guys. This is going to be a long thread.

Saleen, first a few questions. Let's say you're sitting at your Cobra dealership going through the options list. It's staggering. Your first question is, what questions should I be asking. Your first question is, how do I intend to drive the car, (hot street sportscar, some track or drag raing, mostly racing)and what aspect of the car is most important to me (originality, bragging rights, never loosing a race, practicality for daily use, comfortable enough to commute or take trips in?)

What you think you want, and what you really want could be two different things. What have you owned/driven in sportscars or musclecars or street rods in the past? What did you like or dislike about each one? Why are you here looking at Cobras? Not trying to play ametuer shrink here, but your answers will determine how your car gets built, and your ultimate satisfaction with it.

Admittedly, some of this is chug & plug. What fits/works, and where do I get it. What is my priority of assembly? But it gets personal really quickly when we get into engine, trans, diff, suspension, brakes, interior, accessories.
