BDR or a used SPF seem just about right in the sweet spot for your money. |
Yes, they came out with a "new Hurricane" that looked lovely, but I lost track of it all (I was kind of following them) and I don't remember what happened. That was about three or four years ago, I think. |

Agree with PT and Rodknock. As it is, buying one of these is merely the "entry fee". Where you go from there is something to be thought out carefully for several reasons including peace of mind, resale and most importantly, what you want after you have done the exhaustive homework. Personally, I would never go with a crate motor. Part of the journey is living with whoever is building your "perfect motor" and understanding what you have and that it is what you wanted. You also have that connection with the builder vs. standing in the return line at WalMart or Target when something goes wrong.

And definitely stay away from beige. A beige Cobra? Who would have thunk. |

I hear beige is the "new blue" 
Sorry, but obviously partial to blue.

It's kind of funny, but I always get the "thank god it's not blue with white stripes" comment (not that I have beige or lambo orange).

There's a reason it's (blue) popular. Good resale value for a buyer who's considering buying one.
It's my favorite car color. |

If I could only have a blue Cobra with white stripes, then I would rather have no Cobra at all. |

OK, now picture me holding my right hand against my forehead with my index finger and thumb extended forming the letter "L" for "Loser." |

Give me a call next week, alteast I can talk you in or out of it. Seriously, we can alteast put price in perspective. PA is such an easy state to register these cars and your not far away at all, with what seems like right attitude to own one of these.
I'm out of town until Saturday and will be all over the region with deliveries next week, but I'm sure we can connect.
Thanks to all the "recommenders" it's appreciated and extra special when we have not even had the pleasure of doing biz.
