I'm currently driving a Shelbyized Maverick Grabber. It's a neat car but not what I really desire. It shows nicely and runs high 6's in the 8th and is a lot of fun but it's still not a Cobra.
My big question for you guys is strictly about opinions. I have never owned or even driven a Cobra. I'm not even sure I'll still want one after I drive it but I really don't think that's going to happen. Everyone has an opinion which kit they think is best. I most likely can't afford the best car out there but I would really like to know what you guys think would be the #1, #2, and #3 Cobra kits on the market in that order. I'm getting ready to go look at a Factory Five car as soon as the guy gives me a call. I've also noticed there are an awful lot of Cobras on eBay and a lot of them seem to be very reasonably priced. If I start looking at cars on the Internet I would like to look past the poorly built cars and go straight to the better ones. I do manage a body shop for a living and I'm very capable of working on the body if needed but I've heard of nightmare cars and I really don't want to get into one of those. So please guys, if you don't mind, give me your opinions on the better cars and also the ones I need to stay clear of.
Thanks...and hope to be here often!
What are your planned uses and. Urgent like?
