Welcome to the forum and the madness. Unfortunately, you just potentially gored the goat of the majority of members on the forum with this characterization. The Cobra replica community fills many needs from those seeking to clone the original in spirit and detail, to those who want a powerful track car, to those who are fulfilling a street rod itch based on one of the most popular cars of all time - and everything in between. In building one of these replica cars, you will probably need some input from all of them and not just Hurricane owners which are a relatively small community in our city.
The Hurricane is a nice kit. It was my leading choice until they fell on some hard times about 8 years ago and while they were in the process of changing hands, relocating and re-building I was ready to make the jump so I had to change direction. But I think you will be pleased with it - post some progress photos when you get started. |

His post is in the Hurricane forum not in the all talk sections. I understand what he is saying. That's why I wanted a Hurricane too.
Good luck on your build.

Meh. I guess they could ban me if they don't like such representations.
I COULD have said I don't qualify for Cobra ownership, since I'm not old as dirt, have a big gut, don't wear hawaiian shirts, flip flops or those gay looking poker visors like every single cobra replica owner I've personally seen.
Frankly, I don't GAS what stereotypical "owners" think. I'm more interested in the outliers, anyway.

That sounds more like the Corvette crowd.

Hey, I resemble that remark! And not all of us wear flip flops!
Does Evan have a son?

Why insult Evan like that? I'd say he's the "spittin' image" of NYG.
I love being stereotyped. Now I could go into a long dissertation and praise CrossFit and ask the OP how many Muscleups and Handstand Push-ups he can do, or what's his best "Fran" time, but I won't bore you guys (and gals) again. 
Do Kirkhams make a mockery of the original? Notwithstanding, I love my mockery of a Cobra.
And what's wrong with flip flops? It's CA for heaven's sake. |
