I sold my first Cobra (that I completely built with the exception of the paint on the topside and the stitching in the seats) because it was too comfortable, rode too nice, was not quite loud enough, was too refined, it was too heavy, did not beat you up, was not hot enough, and even with 450-500 horses, it was not enough power, did not have enough brake, was actually quite civilized and was too polished. In other words, it was unlike what I envisioned a Cobra was and should be. If you look at an original, they are far from 'perfect'. (and that is not to be taken as a negative, in fact that adds to their 'charm'). I hope to 'correct' all of these on my current build.
