Hi All,
I have been a lurker while trying to figure out what my next car should be. I am not a young kid, was drag racing back in the 60's ( muscle cars yay)and I have been road racing at Road Atlanta, Barber, Roebling Road for the past few years. I recently sold my ZO6 and purchased a Porsche macan (surprising car) because I needed more seats.
Truth is I have owned many different types of cars over all these years and I have grown weary of chasing speed and handling prowess. I just want a fun car. So I bounced around the notion of doing a transplant ls engine into the RX8, or getting a 3 rotor RX7 but after careful consideration those just wouldn't have the fun factor that I craved.
So I kept thinking about the factory five cobra. I had seen a few at Road Atlanta etc and was impressed even if they didn't have an ABS. I like ABS.
But now here we are. The Roadster I think will be my best choice. Love the styling, love the fact its a drivers car ( although I will miss ABS) and love the fact that I can tinker with it to my hearts content. I also like the visibility it provides as I love knowing what is around me.
That being said I do plan on a MK4 chassis with IRS and wildwood brakes by this time next year.
Great forum by the way
