Rob obviously did not have a good experience.
My observation on this is not his builds and all the problems it was his method.
His first premise is where he gets off the track.
He says he wanted to own a Cobra. So then why not go out and BUY an already complete Cobra. Have it looked over by a qualified mechanic and ask lots of questions.
Second problem -- He asked his young son what he wanted. I take my 2 boys (age 2 and 4) to car shows all the time. I ask if they like this car or that car. They like them ALL. They want me to buy them ALL.

My kids love going for rides with me in the Cobra. Even if it is just around the block.
I ended up buying a smelly, gaz guzzling, loud, rattling, POS that needs to be cleaned all the time 3 years ago. Not counting cleaning it my time with it has been 90% on the road. The other 10% has been fiddling with it which has allowed me to meet some great people.
His other observations are fairly obvious upon listening to one start up.
Oh well, to each his own and good luck with the Corvette. Can't go wrong with that car.
