Admittedly my experience with cobras on the track is limited to ShelbyFest but I dont recall either of those brands featuring heavily.

I think it a lot of comes down to how well you set up your car.

When I purchased my replica I didn't do any research on kits and got (almost) exactly what I expected in terms of chassis/running gear etc. This was blind luck.

I have been very happy with my car so far and have been able to exceed my expectations in terms of ride and performance. I see the build as a continual journey with a little less further to go each time.

For me, the layout of the car is a platform that I can work with, I think this is important in terms of my objectives.

To date I have only seen one Australian car that I have seriously desired more than my own - that was the Python.

Mostly because of the chassis & suspension set up where a lot of work has gone into the design.



At present it is my #1 Australian choice - my ability to afford it is another matter entirely
