A couple of points that I might mention.

Being a previous Vette owner and Vette racer I was used to a car that handles well. You being a previous Vette owner as well might fall into the same scenario. So when I decided to buy a Cobra recently I ended up purchasing a Backdraft (which has the BMW independent front and rear suspension) also mine has the 351W based 392 stroker 430 horse motor which I love! It's just the right size and weight for a car like this if you want power and still have a car that handles well.

SO, I guess it depends on what you are going to do with your new Cobra. If your just going to drive and show it then the BIG blocks are neat but don't often handle as well as one with a lighter wieght block. If you're going to REALLY play with it then you might seriously consider the Backdraft BDR, especially since Reg Dodd's Classic Cars who builds the BDR is located right in your back yard. Pembroke Pines, FLORIDA.

Take a look at mine if you like. I love it. It's a LOT of car for the money. And NO I don't work for BDR (as I have been accused of lately and not a RINGER for them either. They just build one hell of a fine car.)
