The whole thing is silly, I have seen photos of the mark V, just a cheap copy of the Cobra, the MKIV was a try at least, within the constraints of the modern DOT and EPA laws. The MKV is just a cheap copy built out of resine fibers, the Chassis crossmembers are made out of small square tubing! so are most of the other tubes. It is totaly different from the original or the MKIV it is just like a kit car and probably not one of the best. I would buy a fiberglass Kirkham or a Superformance before I go near one of those. I know there are a few people who are trying to hang on to AC for whatever reason but don't be fooled people, AC is dead. Rest in peace.

Please look at the thread of the AC website forum:

Please check out the chassis photos and the front suspension, "ain't looking to Cobra like, huh" I like the reverse lights! so one can go as fast in reverse as forward, very innovative.

For $20K maybe! It is self explanatory, I rest my case!
