Sure, it's not a Backdraft. And maybe not a Venom either given the 9" Ford rear. Seems like it could be a TCR aka Shell Valley... But wtf do I know?

For $34K, it gets you into the driver's seat cheap. They are all fakes and parts can always be upgraded.

Yes BUT.....resale can be dodgy. A little more spent can assure a better return on the investment. The reason SPFs, BDRs and ERAs sell for more is the "known quality" of the car and the proven track record of resale and serviceability.

If all someone wants is a car that "looks" like a Cobra there are many lower cost solutions. If you want something that more closely replicates (or exceeds) the performance and "feel" of a Cobra the budget must move upwards.
