Worst Cobra Replica Manufacture & Why ? - Page 3

Has anyone ever seen one of these Monster Miata 427s in person? Basically it's a Cobra-esque rebody kit for an NA-generation Miata (MY 1990-1997).

It's also possible to swap the stock Miata engine for a 5.0-litre Ford, or for an LS1-LS2-LS3 Chevy, so I suppose you could actually get some performance out of the thing if you really wanted to.

I imagine the all-in cost would be similar (or more) than just buying a nice Cobra replica, but something like this would be pretty "different."

You have the Cobra muscle, and a wimpy,.... Miata !

We have had 2 come in that we could not identify in the last year. one of them, we turned down the guy accepting the car to work on, - it was so unsafe and so hacked that we there was no way we could work on it effectively.

-- I am thankful we have good manufacturers like Superformance and Kirkham.
