Hey Matt. I know it's been quite a while since I made the original post and since your response. But, I just wanted to say thanks for your input. I'm still working on getting the cash for my new SPF MKIII but I have made some conclusions based on your comments and all of the other wise experience Cobra owners here in Club Cobra.
Since I live in NC less than 2 hrs form Dennis Olthoff Racing I have decided before I actually order my SPF, I'll visit him, take a test drive, and take some lessons on how to properly drive and handle these great and powerful machines. Also, I'm going to get my drive train from Keith Craft. I think for the money and service, he's the best.
Because I want my SPF as mostly a daily driver, I'll most likely go with the best small block 351 windsor stroker or something like that. Since I want to be comfortable on the street, and I haven't had lots of experience with really high performance muscle cars, I think 400 to 450 HP and foot pounds of torque is plenty for me. To be honest, I'm not car expert and certainly not a builder. I just love the timeless classic look of the Cobra and the fact that I would be able go really fast when I want too. Thanks again Matt...
