I guess I should clerify what I want in a Cobra.

1. Great road handling - not race track
2. Drivetrain to handle 500hp
3. Quality materials - I guess that should have been first
4. Fit - I am 6'2" 280
5. Price - Best bang for the buck without sacrificing quality
6. Good customer support

I plan to build a 460 stroker somewhere between 514 and 572ci. This may sound stupid, but I want a motor that sounds nasty. Nice lopy idle. I feel stupid for saying that but that is what I want.

One thing I don't understand is how much some parts cost. For example, one company wants 1800 for a Ford 8.8 rear end with limited slip! I can get that axle localy with disc brakes and 31 spline axles for under 200 and build a mean axle for less than a 1000 bucks. It is a very common axle. I'm sure I could do the same with a 9" as well.

Well I guess thats it in a nutshell
