So fitting a bastardised chev or lexus into a kit cobra is the only way to get it done.
And we all have to remember 95% of the cobras are KIT cars.
Unless Carrolls company has built it , no matter how well they are built all the same ...........COPIES.
There thats my 50 cents worth.
If it is the only way to get it done for you then I am all for it. And as I said in my other posts, budget is clearly a limiting factor for many also and I completely understand that. There are various good reasons that people must deviate from the original design but I have a tough time understanding the logic of some of the deviations.

And yes, unless it was built by CS in the 60s then it is a copy although I am not sure what some are copying.
