What about a Unique?
$36,000 plus or minus for a painted roller with a Jaguar rear end.
Pick a motor, trannie, tires and rims. I would think the total would be $55K maybe $60K.
New car the way you want it.
They are one of the oldest Cobra manufactors and great customer service.

A lot of good advice here. But the formula is really simple:
1. Drive one.
2. Find a different brand and drive that one, too.
3. If it's still for you, then seek the most Cobra that you can afford (albeit with compromises worked into the equation).
4. If your choice is not the ones that you test drove prior, then drive that, too.
5. If you can live with those same certain compromises, revert to #3.
6. If it's not for you, then seek the Corvette/Porsche that best suits your style and tastes.

... not trying to be a jerk or highjack the thread, but am I the only one who would NOT let someone test drive my car, were I to sell it? Maybe it's just me, but there's no way I'm going to let a stranger with unknown background & driving experience get behind the wheel of my little 615 hp monster. I never drove a Cobra (replica or otherwise) until 3 days AFTER I bought mine. It did not leave the garage until registration and insurance were fully in place. It's surprising what you can learn from the passenger seat. I zeroed in very quickly on what I wanted after a few "test rides".

A lot of us feel that way. But he needs to find some sap, somewhere, that will let him drive one, because, when he does, I have a hunch it's not going to be what he thinks it's going to be....

I think what you're trying to say is represented well in this recent Allstate "mayhem" commercial:
