It is a Factory Five that I built about 6 years ago. It has a Ford Motorsports crate 347 that makes 450 hp. It is a handful to say the least.
If you are seriously interested in buying or building one of these do yourself a favor and drive one first. Tons of fun but also very very loud and the polar opposite of an A7 in terms of comfort and convenience (mine has no roof for example, no radio, no power brakes or steering, you get the idea). The Cobras are really 4 wheel drive motorcycles for all intents and purposes and that includes safety (or lack thereof).
On the other hand, it is ridiculously fun to drive, gets tons of attention and gives you tons of smiles per mile.
The "replica" label is not really an issue any more, there are so many nicely done replicas out there that people just enjoy seeing them now, plus with the value of the originals you will almost never see a "real" one on the road any more.
Best of luck whatever you decide to do.

I LOVE my A7 and with the tune I did it is really fast, I was checking acceleration with an app and it is really fast (0-60 4.13, 0-100 9.56)
Thanks for the info

Sorry to revive an old thread, some of you know I was looking for a red Italian mistress to be unfaithful to my German love.
Looking for the right Toy I found this one.
Price accepted, I am going to pick it up this Friday, it is a long ride from the Bay Area to San Diego and only if something weird happens in these two days I am not going to be the new proud owner of this beautiful backdraft cobra.
What do you guys think?
Hope you like it, I am thrilled

As my wife keeps reminding me, "The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!" (-:
