Take your time, look at as many cars as you can (don't buy the first thing you see), talk to as many owners as you can, and try to visit some manufacturers. You must decide if you want to build your kit (which I think is the most rewarding experience) or buy it turn-key. You should expect to double the estimated cost and time, as all manufacturers have a backlog and you'll need plenty of quality high-cost parts.
Owning/building your own Cobra is a longterm investment and is a lifestyle of its own. The more homework you do, the happier you will be with your investment in both time and money. Good luck, and let us know which direction you are headed.

Determine what you want and what the budget is 1st! Don't spend so much you won't drive it.

Right now is a great time to buy: (Starting with top shelf)
1) CSX ally roller (really KMS with #)
2) KMS roller, they are dealing #'s as the market is a bit dry
3) Consider an MKIV
4) CSX glass

5) ERA
6) SPF
They all have FIA version less the SPF. (At least until spring 09)
All are dealing now so it is a great time to get alot of car for the $$$$$
Happy shopping.
