ChevyMan23 Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 If you are at all interested in a kit car like that one...and you want to build it yourself and not a turn-key.....do not look anywhere but Factory Five Racing....best kit on the market as far as quality and ease of build....as far as maybe roadtsers or others....jus do a search for kit cars and it'll bring many many companies.....they're alot of fun and worth every penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS--BLOWN Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 That ROCKS! How long did it take to complete, and what was the total cost for that, if you don't mind my asking? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbl62 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Love that car.. For the past year I have been looking for right cobra replica for me. I have narrowed the choices to Factory Five,Superformance and the Backdraft. As of right now I am going with the Superformance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyMan23 Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 It took about 1 year to build....doing it slow and right.....roughly 40K in it....including the kit......Backdraft is nice....Superformance is very nice.....but 1...you dont build it...and 2...its pretty expensive considering you dont get a motor with it....and if you compare a Factory Five with a Superformance right next to each other....almost identical in setups....almost...btw..thanx for all the comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daves1996 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Very nice indeed. Color, stripes, everything about it is awesome. I wish I had the garage space for one of those. I would be it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bseen Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 One of my friends has a factory five cobra, blue with white stripes and black int. He built it himself in 5 months working on it a little every day. It has a 5.0 with a 150 shot of gas and weights 2300 with him in it. Its runs 6.90s on the gas with slicks in the 1/8. It has been built for 3 yrs and has 10k miles on it now and still looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
