Brett, take no offense but your ignorance, or better put, your lack of knowledge is dangerous. At least 12 Cobras burned to the ground last few years becuase of poorley made fuel lines, or improper installation. There were at least four fatalities that included the seats being torn loose from the car. Dozens of accidents because of improper brakes. Do we hear about these? Almost never! Who is going to admit they used the wrong fuel line for an EFI engine. Who will admit they didn't know that all brake lines are to be doubled flared? Who would admit that they mixed and matched brake components, only to work at slow speed, but when a sudden "stop" was needed their brakes wouldn't lock up.

How about the Cobras that started all by themselves. Or the ones that caught fire hours after they were parked? How about the ones that were simply driving around after dark and for no reason the headlights, or for that matter all the lights went out for no apparent reason?

Want me to go on? Hell I've just got started!

1) Thanks for the info. You're right, I did not know.
2) Dangerous? I merely asked a question, I thought.
3) Like many, I am not a mechanic, that is way I bought a turnkey car. Many who are not mechanics buy kits. I hope I know my limitations. It is still a very unsafe car though. Moreso in traffic than out in the country or possibly even on the track. I wear a Bell helmet when driving it.
4) Except for not hearing about funding (inspecting 20,000 Cobras= $$$), I vote YES.
