i know its slow because it doesnt have VVT or any of the other "new" technology required to go fast, but it gets me from point A to point B.

dont have many pics with the top off (the top is already in our basement and will stay there 99.99% of the time- doesnt look that good but at least its functional)

for those of you that dont know (since this is an import site after all), it is an AC Cobra replica.

Hm, it's nice I guess... put on some neons and a body kit... make some custom phatty indiglos. Then you'll be speaking our language.

Edit: And a short shifter! JESUS H. CHRIST! ;)

needs altezzas and the lighted washer nozzles. 1st time I've seen a cobra or a cobra replica with a top on... looks better off.

I've seen a Cobra with a viper engine, I love those cars they maybe small but they are a beast.

damn that's a beautiful machine... 30K is too steep for me to buy a antique though...

yeah, we are getting a shorter shift handle. thats the handle the originals had, but we really dont like it.

the car isnt exactly an "antique"..its a replica of one...with modern parts.

thanks guys- ill get working on some type R stickers :P

I've pondered the thought of building a Cobra kit car one day. Highly doubt it would ever happen. Such a beautiful car. That top on their is such ass though, like the Z3 coupe, it just looks retarded with a top. It needs to be driven with no roof.
You could probably do 11's in that thing... mmm,mmm,mmmmmm!!

Oh, and I would pay $30,000 for an original. That would be a steal considering mint ones are worth alot more.

yeah, originals can fetch around half a million easily.
hell...just a running 427 side oiler engine and nothing else can run over 10K.
