Also, one of the best ways to see to see the differences in person is to contact your local Cobra club and attend one of their meetings. Most clubs have enough variety in makes and models that you can see the similarities and differences in person.

I think there is a Long Island club and maybe some others near you. Look in the "Club Forums" section here to see who is near to you.

Good luck!
Yes, Cobra clubs - there is a set of subforums here so you should be able to find one nearby.

In addition check out the regular gatherings like Cars and Coffee. At the one in Vegas there are regulars with Cobras that show up every Saturday morning, and let me tell you that each and every one of them will fill you up with all the information.

In your search for a car you also need to realize that Cobras don't come with power trains, and it is as much or more important that whatever car you decide to buy has a "sorted out" and reliable power train. And if you buy a kit or roller, that you choose a reputable installer. It's not as trivial as it sounds. They are pretty custom built cars so variations of fit are common so it can require some "on the fly engineering" to get things to fit.

Again, good luck!
