Default Racing Cobra?

After reading all the hype surrounding the loyalty to different manufacturers' kits I start to wonder who really has the best platform? Of course, you would need an " All Cobra Race Series" in order to definitively answer this question- but how about this to get the ball rolling?

1- If you were to build and all-out race Cobra, which kit manufacturer's chassis would you start off with if you had your choice? Best geometry, most user-friendly, affordable replacement parts for a long racing season, best handling, etc....

2- Would it be realistic to create an " All Cobra" race series to put these cars to the test and possibly learn something in the process? (hopefully to be shared by the industry for improvement of existing platforms?)

Okay, so I'm naiive, but this should make a good exercise and discussion if it doesn't degenerate into "mine is better than yours" type discord.
Any takers? Did I just open a "drum-o-worms"? - Bob
