Hey tnc110, dont let these lads confuse you...

There is nothing wrong with a BDR, they're great package, value for money hard to beat, new modern parts, definitely an improvement technology wise on a CSX cobra.

The answer that question lies in what YOU want from your cobra.

If you enjoy the build process - then a FFR is probably better than a BDR,
If you want to track/race it then a BDR is probably not as good as a JBL, but better than a Kirkham (and I'm NOT suggesting Kirkhams cant be tracked, Morris tracks his successfully, but I couldn't get past the thought of binning an Alu body...).

Its all going to depend on YOUR personal preference, and what you rank more important to YOU.

If you just want a big a$$ed engine in a cobra to go in straight lines - try a Weineck... PS: how's your German and bank balance? You might need ample levels of both...

Dimis, you're wasting your breath.

I believe I spotted the OP at the Chevrolet dealership buying a Corvette.

That is a big negative!!!

I'm set on a Cobra. All the new stuff is out dated in a few years and leaves the buyer wanting to update. No thanks. I love fast and loud, the Cobra is both for sure. I've been in love with cobras for a long time, and am finally at a place in my life where I can afford one. Unfortunately I am building a house and barn this year, so the Cobra is on hold at least until the barn is done. BUT, this is probably a good thing, gives me time to pick your brains!!! I glad to have the time to do a lot of research and pick the car that is exactly what I want and not have any regrets down the road.

I'm actually in the process of converting my motorcycle into a Cobra theme bike. I have a guy building me some custom fiberglass pieces as we speak.

Naaahhhh, that won't do... he still can't get over that "marching in to Paris" thing.
