Hi Bruce,
Tough call hey...I think your answer really depends on what ultimately rules you...your heart or your head!
If it's your heart, then the money side of things really don't matter because your car is all about the hard work you put in to it, the car is a part of you...you've worked bloody hard to get it exactly the way you want it...bugger the money!
If it's your head, then sell your cobra, and save a lot of money...with the US/AUD exchange rate and the fact that quality cobras are bloody cheap anyway, you really will save a heap of money!
I've lived in Texas (Houston) a couple of times now and I was amazed at the quality of Cobras/Daytonas/GT40s that you could get and just how cheap they were! I was based in Houston for 18 months mid 06 to late last year and I seriously toyed with the idea of buying a RHD/ADR spec'd Superformance and then shipping it to Australia myself, but by the time I figured this all out I was not going to be in the US for the required 12 months to avoid the Aussie import duties...
I have a few mates in Houston who have bought themselves some pretty nice rides with the intention of bringing them back to Australia when their assignment is over.
If you are interested in Superformance, I can recommend Mitch at Vintage Upgrades & Performance in Houston who are a SPF dealer...he's a great guy, knows his stuff and is incredibly helpful!
Regards.....Paul
