Tomahawk Z Cobras on Craigslist

Not exactly my cup of tea when it comes to Cobra replicas. It visually looks more like "essence" of Cobra. This is the first time I've come across one, but I'm sure some of you have personally seen one or two at Knott's before.

Since its not really a "Cobra" you could slap a couple of turbos on that in-line and make a Skyline-Cobra, now that would be interesting...or slap a Tomahawk body on a Supra for a sleeper....

not sure what to think of it. ( the TH) But i do come away feeling the Z car is the square oragami paper of the aftermarket. ---you can make it into a Cobra, a Ferrari and a Terre-dactyl.

Wow! That is some kind of ugly.

You see them running around Sacramento from time to time. Based out of Rio Linda.

Here is a 2003 Zparts web page from a few years back talking about them as well. If they had tried less to make it look like a Cobra and more like a custom one-off exotic creation, it might have a better following.

I couldn't handle the inevitable questions that you KNOW will follow this car.

Is that a 427? Is that a Corvette or an MG? ...and of course, "Is it real?" Man, I just couldn't handle it, I got my hands full trying to figure out how to answer questions about the ERA all ready.
