Why use the Cobra body for a Hot Rod? It's the same answer as why use a 57 Chevy, 69 Mustang, 32 Roadster, or anyone other car ever built... personal taste. Many people like the look of the Cobra, but have no desire for it to be as originally built. That's what "hot rodding" is. Taking a car and modifying it to suit your needs and likes.
I like my CSX because I like originality. But I would also love to have a fully built, turbo modular Ford powered, 6 speed, modern suspension mega hot rod Cobra.
It all comes down to what you like. The best thing about having a Cobra is that it's like going to Burger King.... you can have it YOUR way.
I have an appreciation for ALL types of Cobra builds. And while my current personal preference revolves around originality, I still love to see heavily hot rodded Cobras too.
