Fantastic car, very well built and I must say very safe as Cobras go ( Call the Weavers for details). As for the exhaust I think CobraStang is getting the look of the Unique FIA (much smaller and single tube exhaust) compared to the 4 into 4 exhaust of the 427. If not Cobrastang, please clarify.
Everyone has their own opinions, but most of the high end cars use glass for the firewall and rear bulkhead. To make it stronger Uniques front and rear bulkhead is bonded to the body in a custom jig. The truth is that it is cheaper to stamp aluminium and have the builder rivet the parts together than build a good composite product. Not to mention the thin aluminium that is riveted together is much weaker and thiner than bonded glass. What are the majority of offshore race boats and yachts built out of? You guessed it, fiberglass. But most importantly it is the resin that the builder uses in the product and Unique uses a very good product.
