Good call Dave and Mike,
I thought it was just a **** slinging match by OZCOBRA but it looks like it has settled down a bit. My build is simple. I Have thought about all ways to get a Cobra in my garage since 1988 when I first saw one. The opportunity arose though a mates misfortune and I was offered an unfinished or should I say a rolling chassis kit in 2003.
I knew nothing about building cars and less about bumpsteer, suspension geometry, correct shape,nothing, but I had a Cobra kit in my shed at long last. It is an Evans kit and has its faults but anything can be rectified along the way but after three and half years of building and three and a half of driving with a few track days and Shelby Fests and Nationals trouble free under it's belt, I am proud of what I have sitting here.
So Tone pick any kit and build it, whats right with one with be wrong with the other. The thing I wished I had would be able to contact the supplier but Evans had gone out of business when I started so that would be a big thing in my view. Go for it.
F#%k I sound like the JD's have cut in!
Cheers

I don't have an attitude problem...you have a perception problem!....I like that QUOTE......Certainly no sh!t slinging mate...Just sharing the love that abounds in this wonderful community!!!

The problem here alot of the time is that people are too scared to voice it honestly so they are not the one who OUTS the bad dealing or the bad design they are all happy to chime in once somebody else does it just in case they bump into them at the Nationals.

For warned is for armed and if guys are shelling out 10,20,30k for a kit and they get a little dirt about the dealings of certain individuals so be it..it might potentially save them some heart ache down the track.

...pick any kit and build it, whats right with one with be wrong with the other..and the more wrongs or the erks that annoy people in their cars maybe the new buyers down the track will have a better overall product to chose from.
.. as VICTOR pointed out he bought the car and then found out about the shape issue and said WTF, now if he had the same information that Tony has got from the replies in his poll thread VICTOR might well have bought another Cobra and not his DRB..in the end VICTOR loves the car he has!!!......

.....and Tony might yet buy a DRB
