Not Ranked
Guys,
I've got CER #1008, and my car was in the Kit Car Mag March 2007 issue. I built the car at their shop in Manteca. As I recall, the car was designed for the 17" wheels, but by going to smaller brake rotors, and etc., you would be able to fit 15" wheels. My rear tires are WIDE, 335's. Fit and finish was done by Ken Pike of Ken's Custom Auto in Yuba City. He has lots of experience in painting/fitting Cobras - alll types. He's good. The cantilever billet coil over suspension is pretty. Would like to do a comparsion with other cobras. Had it aligned in Mt View by Custom Alignment. Another CER owner says the SPF has a softer ride, although it could be the valving on our coilover shocks (Aldan Eagles - Road Race) or SPF 15" vs our 17", tire pressure, etc. Interior, carpet, seats, etc is all up to you. You can delete or add to your specs. I've got Mercedes carpet with heat insulation backing, but you can imagine how hot the foot boxes still get in the summer (add the Cobra Earl vent kit!). Wiring is a Painless kit.
Cutting Edge made changes along the way. They built a few kits, improved the design, built a few more kits, imporved the design. I started building my kit in March 2005, showed the body/engine/frame at Knott's, worked 1 day a week and was finishing it in the parking lot at the Nugget at the Bash 2006.
I'll be at the Bash with the Speedfreaks booth, (and track day #888). They dyno tuned my car with 505 hp at the rear wheels. Car pic is also on the BACC web site.
