I am confused as to how replicating a great car has now progressed to just using random stuff that has no connection to the spirit of the original car. My point is that if you want to try to replicate a Cobra then why not at least make an attempt at replicating a Cobra. Of course given the part availability, budget, and the approach that many replica companies take to building their chassis it is not possible to replicate it perfectly these days. But it is pretty easy to build a Cobra replica that is done with the spirit of the original in mind. I just get very confused with those that want to redefine the car without any attempt to sticking with the spirit of the original. If you have no interest in some of the key points that define the Cobra then why not build something like an Ultima and stick a Chevy engine in it?
