I want to build a cobra... Where to start?

[yakfish]

Wow... thanks for all the replys. You have giving me alot to go thru already. London is less than an hour away from me so I will definently go check out their next show!

I want a car that is streetable that will be the primary use but I have a drag strip close to me as well so I would take it to run the 1/4 a few times in the summer as well just for kicks. there is also Mid ohio that is about 2 1/2 hours from here so I would like to go there at least once a year to run the road course. as far as engine size I'm not too sure about what to put in it yet but bigger is better!

Thanks

If you plan to take it on a road course, bigger is not better.......Same goes for horsepower/torque. Keep in mind, that no matter what other cars you have ever driven, they are nothing like a Cobra, which if you do not learn it's characteristics slowly, can (will) try to kill you.

For either a buy or build, need to know the track safety requirements such as functional roll bar vs cosmetic, etc and inspection/tech check list.

You started in the right place.

Make use of the Search function. It's ALL been covered many times before. Tons of info here. You could/should spends a couple weeks alone just reading up before anything and get answers to your basic questions.

This is a fun time believe it or not. Enjoy it!
