Looking for Advice: First Cobra Kit Build

[avanti-176]

Track car w/ occasional street = JBL(not sure about BB availability)

Street car w/ occasional track = What is your budget? there are many choices.

It would be street car w/occasional track. Budget isn't a huge concern...but quality and a solid foundation is. I am the kind of guy that doubled the value of a STI because I wanted things done right (pushing 420whp on 93oct and reliable).

Is there a good/better/best for that kind of setup?

Welcome aboard.

I've heard the JBL is a good option for a track car, but I have no first hand knowledge of those.

We went the FFR route. It has a pretty good frame and has the ability to be set up for track for a pretty reasonable cost.

It's not the most period correct option out there, but the newer version is closer than some of the older versions.

Like the others have already said, it somewhat depends on your budget and how much you want to do yourselves.

Period correctness is not as important to me since I am looking at the car as more of a modern roadster...but it probably will be to my wife as she wants to build a car just like the original Cobras. That is part of the reason why she doesn't want me messing with the colors either.
