so many kits

[decooney]

IMHO, not to rag too much, but If the Shamrock car was offerred as a package:

- minus the "entire" interior, including the steering wheel

- minus the wheels/tires in the picture

- minus a few coil springs or inches to eliminate the 4WD look

- minus the vertical windshield and 4 foot wide rear view mirror

- and replaced with more authentic looking parts/interior...

with these changes/corrections and offered at a price less than the competition out there, it could be something. To me, as-is, it does not look very close to an authentic Cobra, but it could be a nice driving car. There are not any good chassis shots, and this is the first thing that would alert me to look at one up close.

As for the looks of this car, it always amazes me how some of these companies start out running a marathon and fall down 50 feet before the finish line on the easy stuff; like the interior.

Its nice to see the Jag front/rear suspension/differential components. Just like the Backdraftracing Cobra, with some minor changes it could become a very good contender in this price range. Not everyone likes authentic looking Cobras though, so who knows? I'd like to see this company go with a more oringal look on the non-mechanical stuff and try to keep the price the same; and then see what happens to their sales. There are some nice points to the car. Just needs some re-thinking and redesign to be a contender. IMHO.
