New here and not sure what area to use...AC or SMC
Looking to buy my first cobra. I have found an SMC and an AC. The SMC was built in 1996. Solid car. Dyno of 380hp, 340 to rear wheel. 5 speed.
THe other is an AC about 5 years old with a Cobra Mustang engine and a 5 speed. THe SMC is 22.5k and the AC is 23.5k. Any thoghts which kit is more solid etc? I have found through looking on here that an SMC appears to be the same as a B&B which appears to have a very strong body but I am not sure... Any help would be great and I look forward to being an active member/owner soon! |
By AC do you mean Antique and Collectible (A & C) out of Buffalo, NY www.acautos.com ?
under "Forums - Antique and Collectible" there are many threads and owners of A & C cobras who are more than willing to answer any questions you may have. I've had mine on the road since 2001. Jim |
THanks and yes one is the ACautos and the other is an SMC.

For what it's worth, I always refer to them as A&C cars so as not to confuse them with the AC cars out of England.
As to which is better A&C or SMC, I don't know, maybe it's a draw? See this thread for a little more info on SMC. http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/show...threadid=44901 |
A&C bodies are sold with a color in the gel coat so paint is not necessary (not sure if that is all cars or an option). So check to see if it has paint or not. The A&C is a stressed body design, meaning the frame is a little lighter built and the body is stronger to add strength to the frame. The body is very strong and the gel coat very high quality compared to many others.
