Getting ready

[PHC1]

Hey guys, new to Club Cobra. Been thinking about getting a Cobra for many years as I guess many do! I think I am closer to pulling the trigger this time than any other. So far in my limited research and a few conversations, the Superformance sounds like a great replica to go with.

Seems like a very friendly forum, hope you guys don't mind a few questions and won't tell me to go and use the search feature!

A few questions for you Superformance owners then. I'm 6'2" and being able to fit comfortable is a bit of a concern but I have been told it should not be a problem and the seat can be bolted to the floor if need be for extra room. True?

I need to decide whether I am going to settle for a roller that's already in stock or order and wait or perhaps even buy a lightly preowned example that is close to what I would have built myself. What should I be aware of if ordering? Any specific options a "must have"?

What motor do I go with? I realize there are many possibilities, power levels, builders, etc. What is popular? Do I need to have a 427 for resale value down the road or should I instead focus on the motor for drive-ability, reliability, torque and HP curve, quick revving, etc... factors instead.

I keep thinking the MK III is the one I would/should start with but I also keep eyeballing the 289 FIA MKII.... Choices, choices...

Also what are my choices for a tranny?

I'd really appreciate some input, just point me in the right direction and I will try to find the way!

Thanks in advance!
