I agree....I think some people aren't aware of the true look of the Cobra...and just see it as a "hot rod." Therefore they start stuffing BBC's and automatics in there....convertible tops...etc....That's the first thing my dad said when I bought my car...."You need to tub the rearend and put some Mickey Thompson slicks under there....narrowed 9"....then you need to put a big block Chevy in there and an automatic with a real high stall...." Yeah Dad. Sure. If you want a street rod, buy a little 32 Ford. If you want a Cobra, build a Cobra. Just my opinion....don't flame me.
