Ok now that you have had your Cobra what would you change

I liked mine just like it was. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

I would fit a 6 or more speed auto box with paddle changers Maybe a Mercedes 9 speed one if it was possible with 3.9:1 diff ratio.

I would spend a fair bit of money making the car lighter - something around 750kg or 1650lbs if that was possible - might mean going for a small non-American turbo V8 with light weight boot, bonnet and doors and even body shell and light weight headers and also much lighter fabricated suspension arms. Of course each mod would make it less traditional but more fun to drive. I think given the weight saving 450 hp would be the sweet spot.

Another weight saver could be smaller wheels and tyres with stickier rubber which would help unsprung weight.

Despite that I love my car the way it is.
