I really think you should consider the new Hurricane. They have a great car and it sounds like what you are looking for. Check out my build thread here on the forum.

I think they deserve at least a look. They are in the same price range and have some very attractive attributes. I have had quite a few cobras and the Hurricane is up there with the best in fiberglass replicas.
