It doesn't look like a Cobra--it's too big, you say. Check out the JBL and FFR kits--what's up with the different butts--they don't look 'correct' either! But those are only two examples of varying Cobra correctness...er...incorrectness.
What is 'correct', anyway? Isn't every original CSX different, customized to each owners' particular style? Just where do we draw the line if today's replica manufacturers are replacing everything under the body yet still calling it a 'replica'?
If we're going to start changing things from the 'correct' original vehicle, the one that no one really wants to duplicate exactly for several reasons (performance being at the top of everyone's list due to today's technology)--and that doesn't really have an exact base from which to duplicate anyway--I say lets do it right! Heck--I like JBL's "Butcher"--and when I look at it I see a cool Cobra hot rod. I say we draw the line there--with coolness and proformance enhancement--or lets not change it at all...assuming we can come up with a base from which to duplicate, which we can't!!! If the vehicle is a cool-looking hot rod with Cobra styling, what's wrong with that as long as performance is enhanced--or at least not comprimised!
Many with a beef about someone else's 'replica' have an incorrect copy themselves--which I guess explains their anger--they're pissed because they don't really have a true replica either...but, of course, theirs is better than yours!
If you've done your research you know that a longer wheelbase and a proven, complete Corvette chassis system will perform circles around every other 90" Cobra replica around. Yes, that's a bold statement to some. Yes, it's correct too. Hands down. Don't take my word for it--check out Cobras N Vettes at Knotts this year or shoot Jeff an email:

Lets do it right--you CAN have it both ways...just stay out of the snake pit if you know what's good for ya!
