OK here we go again...Who's cobra is the best?...the answer, most of them are great cars and all have their own respective attributes. Anyone you choose is the best for you.

Now with that being said I will offer up the method I used to decide on which cobra I wanted.
1) Criteria: do I want to:
Buy a used cobra?
Buy a roller?
Build my own at home?
Do I want a shop to complete my build?
2) Authenticity
Do I care if it looks like the original or....slightly different? (Body shape)
What about wheel base? (90" as originals)
3) How much money do I want to spend?
4) Frame and chassey design/ performance and safety.
5) Components used in vehicle
6) Engine / trans /rearend / IR. / brakes - driveline.
7) Completeness of kit.
8) Build ease and Company support / web support
9) Which cobra "Yanks my crank",......which one do I favor based on this
objective approach.
10) Set a numerical point value for each of your criteria (1 -10) and then assign points
for each criteria based on your investigations and then add up the points to see
which cobra gives you the best value.

I've used this system for many decisions, in my case the Hurricane gave me what I wanted. Bill
