Also Superformance would probably let you get into a running and finished Cobra quicker than most others as basically all you have to do is get the running gear, engine, transmission, & etc and put it in.

Thanks! I'm not so concerned with "quicker". I like to scrounge, rebuild and fabricate. So, if I could pay less money, I'd be glad to do more work. I'd even be interested in doing a second car built from scratch, but I think building a kit first makes sense.

The best thing you can do for yourself is put a spreadsheet together & compare the final cost of of a few different cars. Once everything is optioned out the way you want it, sometimes the differences aren't as big as you thought.

It's funny, but the FFR hard-core followers generally look down on the IRS. Possibly because FFR's version was originally based on the relatively weak T-bird unit.
