Question

Would I buy one with a Chevy engine? I'll first offer this disclaimer: I don't own a Cobra, YET... but by way of example I did use to own a Harley. And what made that Harley a HOG was that 80 cubed slammin' V-Twin thunder-maker between your legs (the engine, that is). Even when it was a new 1985 American-made monster, the entire front end was (purportedly) made by Mitsubishi.... GASP

So that big H-D engine is what made that scooter a HOG.

But a Cobra...did it not have it's humble beginnings as an AC Ace in the mid 50's with it's equally British six-banger engine under the "bonnet"? Do I have my Cobra lore correct?? So, is it the engine that makes a Cobra a Cobra or...what...? How is this car truly defined?
