need comments on cobras

They are way too loud, hot and stinky (no emissions). You must know that before you get into a project. They can handle well for a 60's car, but they won't touch a new Corvette. And yes, they are a handful, you really have to drive them. . .

If that doesn't 't bother you, they are fun to drive and get lots of attention and are raw fun.

Also, don't forget that they are very hard to sell, and they don't hold their value at all. The best bet from that perspective is to buy used, it may give you more problems, but it will also make you lose less money if you sell.

Be careful in your decision. Make sure that this is the type of car you really, really want.

Some are quieter than others. Depends on the sidepipes and motor. If you drive like a normal person, they handle good and are not loud until you push the noise pedal. Of course the amount of horsepower is a major factor. Each brand and each car is different in sound and the way they handle. I think in general the FFRs are quiet and handle well because they use the Mustang 5.0 EFI motor and suspension. A lot depends on who builds the car and what parts they use. 302 or max'ed out 460. I have a friend with a 427 c.o. that is very quiet. I have a 302/354 that's loud. A lot of Cobras ride rough because the springs are to strong for street use. You can build a Cobra with a smooth / soft ride or one for the race track. Your choice.

You can build a Cobra to be a cat or a lion.

Start out with the cat and spend enough money on it to make a lion!

There has to be a few Cobras in your neighborhood. Find them and get them to give you a ride. You will have to decide for yourself.
