I would suggest you go to a club meeting or cruise or something similar and look at the different set-ups and try to get a ride or two.. Most Cobra guys I know will be more than happy to take you for a ride and some may even let you do some driving.....
I rode in an early FFR some years back,it was a "standard/stock" build,bone stock 30,000 mile plus 302,all the owner did was put a K&N air filter and 3.55 rear gears.... It suprised the hell out of me at what it was capable of doing and it was a strictly street car and got better than 20 mpg.... The owner let me drive it and we went out of town on a little used road.... From a dead stop I ran it thru the gears starting in second gear (first gear was broken) and shifted at a whopping 4500 rpms (not my car,did not want to flog it) and it impressed me quite a bit for the performance considering it was a bone stock 302 GT motor.........
You may find some cars are not as "street friendly" as you would expect and some of the lower hp cars are very fast....
Go for a few rides and then decide what you need for your use............
