Any opinions on the X342 GT-40 engine in a Cobra?

Any other opinions and/or observations on this Cobra?

I'm also considering the purchase of a 2002 Unique 427 with a 331 roller/stroker motor, which as advertised here on ClubCobra - 2002 Unique 427 Cobra

Any contrasting opinions between these two Cobras?

Thanks for any and all input!

Over $50,000.00 invested and will sacrifice for $31,500.00.
Someone spends $127,000.00 on one of theses Kirkham Cars and sells it
for$88,000.00.I couldn't see spending that amount on these especially
$127,000.00 just to turn around and instantly turn $127,000.00 into $88,000.00 or $50,000.00 into $31,500.00.Kinda shows there isn't any value there or is a bad investment to some extent.But regardless of anyones
input about it being the economy or vehicle depreciation or what have
you i think $20,000 or $30,000.00 dollar difference is big between the amount invested in the thing and what someone gives you for it or you sell
it for.Either way whether it is whatever people say the reason is the economy,depreciation etc i don't see these things as something very good to spend a BUNCH of money on.I don't really see $50,000.00 or more in one of these let alone $127,000.00.I dumped out around a total of $30,000.00
and that was it for me and it wasn't even completely done to where you could drive it.
