I'll start by saying that I'm not a purist (as I'm sure everyone on the Australian forum already knows)....
I'm not sure that any "Darkside" Cobra's have been sold in Aus yet, but as has been mentioned before, I would be quite confident that they'd hold thier value against similar Ford powered vehicles.
To be brutally honest, I wasn't a big fan of the Cobra, simply because I am a GM man and wouldn't buy/own a Ford powered vehicle. That may sound pretty lame but my business/life is tuning GM powered vehicles, enough said.
So why the hell am I building a Cobra??? It all comes down to one man, Aussie Mike!! A couple of years ago I ran a competition to win a tune for an LS1 Commodore. The guy that one (Aussie Mike) said he had an LS1 but it wasn't in a Commodore, it was in a Cobra that he was building. To shorten the story, I met up with Mike, tuned his machine (back then it was just a chassis with a motor, see pic) and just had to have my very own Darkside Cobra.....
Thanks Aussie Mike...
