LGC67,


BRB 2000 are able to fit the FORD 4.6/5.4 FAT motors, why then would you put a Lexus donk in it>>>>

IMO the BRB has a funny rear end..........

Yeah I'm of the same mind ,the DRB has always looked as though someone has jumped on the doors and broken its back, its ar$e is pulled up and angles the whole back of the car into the back of the seats!!,it's just wrong!!!
M2cw!!

I can't say I'm a fan of the DRB shape either. They look very flat across the top of the body compared to other Cobra bodies out there. They have that perky butt happening too.

However they are probably the most common/popular Cobra kit in Australia.

Cheers

Well as a DRB owner I should step in

As Mike says the DRB is probably the most popular kit in Australia.

And it does have a slightly different back end, but only to those who know what to look for.

If you choose your wheel size right the illusion is even less noticable.

To 95% of the population they would have no idea and hey no Cobra is like for like the same as the original, just some more so than others.

Its definitely not the worst looking kit out there, but questionable whether its the best.

For $55K, it's pretty good valve IMHO. Hardtop, softtop, s/charged Lexus V8 (just waiting for more boost) 4 speed auto (will drive nicely).

If it rocks your boat, go check it out

Yeah .I like the look of it in the pics . As I mentioned the dash is different from most I've seen . Is that the norm on DBRs?
