Thanks.. It had its challenges along the way. Outside isn't very pretty .  Blast driving it !!! Actually more fun than a all aluminum 550hp 427 FE car.  Car is a looker but the Mazda does the talking  ;)

I like it!!!! That FC hauls :)

How do you like your cobra?? I am seriously considering building a Factory 5 cobra replica(LS3 swapped hehehehehe) in 5 years with my son. I am gonna use the FC $$$ (if anyone buys it) as the starter funds for the project.

I have heard both good and bad about the Cobra chassis & would love feedback.
