There's no rationality to the roadster other than it's appearance and things like chassis modifications don't detract from that. I certainly don't fault the "purists" that want something as close to the original as possible, although most everyone goes beyond what the original cars were even if it's only a higher HP level.

Thankfully you can go to a gathering and not see 200 Blue, White stripped, Iron blocked, clones. The car was all about pushing the limit and crossing the lines in the 60's, this is just another leap in the same direction.

For me it's greatest charm is the classic look, I'm not really interested in re-creating the un-predictability of the originals. In my case I'll take any help I can get to keep it out of the ditch and off the wall.

I reality it's a moot point for me as I already went over budget and doubt I'd be able to afford this, but hey I'd been wishing for some 30yrs to get where I am now.

My thoughts exactly! It's not a "real Cobra" (whatever that means) so I might as well have what I want. Just my thoughts.
