Ok another one . http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...d=1244ACAF52DC This is something I like . Is a car belonging to somebody on the forum ??
Don't tell me it's another one of those dreadful DBR shockers . LOL JOKE   They all look the same to me .
Although I did sometimes wonder why some car had more "ROAD PRESENCE" than others .I always thought it was somethimg to do with colour or wheels and tyres .

I'd change the side pipe and wheels but it is a great base for a newbie to enter the cobra world.

Gforce was the car that started my love of these cars they had a beautiful Green car in thier advertising with lots of chrome in the right places and i was hooked!!!!
Love yellow cars but this isn't a good example!!
It comes back to..... buy Built or buy to Build!!!The buy built option i reckon people still end up spending at least a 1/4 to sometimes a 1/3 of their purchase price whilst owning the car and fixing the things that erk them then the obligitory performance upgrades.

Take note of the last comment - OZCOBRA is spot on.
I bought my Cobra built and then proceeded to spend nearly half the price fixing / changing / fine tuning the bits I didn't like.
Once realisation sets in that you are simply throwing more and more of your hard earned dosh into a snake pit you need to stand back and say THAT'S ENOUGH!
That's where I am - after 5 years!
Still not 100% happy, but who is

Hope nobody takes that crack seriously . Any engine in any Cobra is better than what I have at the moment . I shouldn't really stir things up ,after all I'm brand new here .........I should wait a bit longer before doing that 
Chev engines have their place .............IN CHEVS  Oh yeah and Hot rods and drag car ,kick bum ski boats......... some of the fastest cars around .Its a bugger they are such good donks

This one runs 7.29 in the 1/4
If you one eyed Ford blokes are squeamish you better not look.

Not a fan of that style of sidepipe - looks very wrong IMO. Not an easy fix either as they come out half way up the car. The G-force has been around for a long time too and I reckon has a very nice shape, although some think its a bit low at the back. They did do a kit based on a toyota crown chassis once upon a time.
Cheers

I don't think of myself as a one eyed Chev bloke. I've owned mostly fords since I got my drivers license. The last 2 vehicles before my current daily driver were Fords (F100 4X4 and an XR8 Pursuit ute).
I just like the design of the LS1 engine and stirring you blokes up .
