Basically, this company is using one of the world's best handling COMPLETE chassis, which REALLY ought to drive down the price of the kit. I really like the idea of using the '84 C4 chassis since the '84 is the best handling vette to date: http://www.c4restore.com/factoid.htm#best --AND there were SO many '84's made that they're a dime-a-dozen these days at about $3000 for one still in a drivable condition!!!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the potential here!
Totally confused now. Cobra has a 90" wheel base. To my knowledge is not a single replica made that uses a ford donor chassis.
