"Corvette meets Viper", with a mustang kind of grill. Don't get "cobra" from it.

Interesting "edgy" and fun concept look. If you are are looking for feedback, when I look at this concept in roadster format, to me, it's almost more reminicent of a late 60s early 70s Corvette, with sharp lines added at the top of the front fenders and real quarters. Notably, you can see the snake eyes which looks even more like a Cobra than the original. However, when one thinks of what makes a 60s Cobra notable and fluid is the round nose and overly curvatious shape with no sharp edges anywhere.

QUESTION to ALL:
Why not make a modernized version of the real thing, shape and all? Not referring to any of the previous Ford or concepts listed on Clubcobra before over the last few years... (we've all seen those) but has ANYONE ever made up a modernized concept version of an original, using all the EXACT same shape and lines, but just making it a little wider and longer, with all the modern amenties and suspenstion of modern-day car... Why change perfection, and just make the obvious in a modern version? That's what I'd like to see, with a nice cammer V8, real sidepipes, and sound. If this was actually produced, with the right shape, using high quality engineering, parts, and construction, I bet it would see more press than the Viper or former V10 concept Cobra ever did. Hopefully, sooner or later, someone will see the obvious and just make it already. Geez

Ford, are you listening, it's a no-brainer?

I think the car has a split personality (a lot of personalities); every feature on the car is a "tribute" to some other car. I would pull it all in to one tribute and focus on capturing the essence a specific car or feeling and not using "features" to overwhelm the viewer.

Just MHO.
