Hmm... Given a choice between that thing and this car recently on ebay: Ebay Cobra for similar money. I think I'll still be burning dead dinosaurs with the help of two paxton blowers.
Cheers

I can't see a problem, 4cy, v8, v12, diesel, electric...if it offers true performance it has my respect. Although I'm not sure about it in a Cobra.
Green doesn't necessarily mean you can't have fun.
Mind you RCR do electric versions of the Roadster, so I'm definitely biased.  But our replicas have remained faithful. 
Mike, oh yeah, a Kirkham setup as a replica of a Super Snake...worth every cent.

It wouldn't work, one of the things about driving a Cobra is the NOISE, can you imagine putting your foot into it and waiting for the wonderful assault on your ear drums only to be deafened by silence - mmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm then mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm if it is a five speed.
No thanks, give me the 'Super Snake', you just can't imagine what all those batteries will do to the enviroment.

Maybe it comes with some big sub-woofers to re-create the sound of a real cobra  |

Almost as unusual as one of these, which a friend of mine is currently building. I'm not sure if he's figured out why yet.....

Hehe... 
I guess the advantage is that if the authorities think he's such a hoon that they bring out the crusher, he could always try to call on the tank's full-scale big brother to crush the crusher  |

Hey Gav you have!!
Do you have any idea how many ampheres it takes to smelt down the bauxite to make your beer can motor?
When they first developed an ingot of aluminiun way back when, 1800's I think, it was put on display as a precious metal because it cost so much to create - several years of an average person's earnings back then.
But of course if you happen to appear on the walloper's hoon parade a few too many times, the recyclable content of your car might allow you to purchase a major stake in a new cobra!!

I also know that it takes a great deal of energy to melt dirty, heavy old cast iron and that cast iron it is an ancient material.
