It all comes down to what you like. The best thing about having a Cobra is that it's like going to Burger King.... you can have it YOUR way.

I have an appreciation for ALL types of Cobra builds. And while my current personal preference revolves around originality, I still love to see heavily hot rodded Cobras too.
I certainly respect your opinion on this Sal. Those who like these type of cars are certainly welcome to that opinion. I am glad they have found a car that they enjoy as that is what the car hobby is all about. However I also am entiled to an opinion without folks telling me that I am trying to trample their vision. The bottom line fact is that the large number of hot rods built with a Cobra shaped body and even larger number of "Cobra replicas" built with new age stuff has clearly skewed the perception of what an original Cobra is. This is not an opinion, it is fact. We are all entitled to our opinion as we consider this fact. Many say that they love all the different versions which is a fine opinion to have. I say that I don't and feel I am also entitled to express this opinion without everyone getting all bunched up that I am trashing their cars.
