I just don't like the people who denounce "Hot Rod" Cobras. If they are going to get picky about our cars they want to make sure their own camp is in order first.

How many Aussie replicas have original style round tube frames? Most if not all the Cobras down here are 427 replicas yet how many are even running an FE motor? Almost none I would say. I don't think running an injected ford 302 makes it a whole lot more accurate than an LS1 or a Lexus motor.

I agree with 400TT. The individual touch each of us gives our cars makes them much more interesting. If you want to go to a car show where every car is exactly the same just go for a cruise past the yard at your local Ford or Holden dealer (Boring!!).

I relinqush the soap box.
