No, it will live in infamy in the annals of Club Cobra lore and will be brought out from time to time like your spinster Aunt brings out her finest table cloth that has the red wine stain in the corner that just won't come out....

Took the words right out of my mouth, except the "aunt and the red wine stain" metaphor and/or analogy. A classic thread from the past.

Don't discount FFR just because you want a turn key. There are companies like LEVY RACING that build turnkey FFR roadsters and coupes for customers. You pick the color, and the details you want - they build it for you - done by pros. So you CAN buy a turnkey FFR (probably a 12 week turnaround time - maybe less); You can buy Backdraft's or Superformance from dealer inventories. ERA will build you a turnkey - but that is more like a 12 month turnaround. That's what mine was. And there are a lot of good cars advertised on Cobra Country. Kirkham will also do a turnkey - a jewell. Each car is somewhat different - and that takes some time to learn but is part of the fun. Good luck.

Thanks Rickd. AAAHHH yes the Kirkham, just today at lunch, I went for a ride in one and it was AMAZING. It had a 511 ci all alum. KC motor. Man did that car run and the sound blew me away. I'm pretty sure the Kirkham is out for now, hopefully down the road

I did a Google search on "moronic car builders" and it linked to his name and that epic CC thread.

On topic, you should sit in/drive as many of your affordable choices as possible. Once you find one (or two) that you fit best in, then buy as much Cobra as you can afford.

I couldn't be more pleased with my SPF, and I bought it pre-owned and saved a lot of money (again, I bought as much Cobra as I could afford at the time).

Good luck in your search and don't compromise on color, etc. The car you desire is out there. Be patient.
