I researched Superformance a few years ago, and the basic "kit" which comes as an assembled and painted body and chassis with wheels, headers, interior, etc (everything EXCEPT the motor and trans) was about $40,000 to start. Add in a few extras, motor + trans and some time (or money) to do the install and it knocks on $60k pretty quickly.

about the lack of chrome. I think it would look better if they had kept the chrome accents that the cobras normally have.

If you watch the video, the guy sets of a car alarm while doing a rolling burnout.

Darn good use for that motor! I'd sure like this machine in my garage. Just Superformance was always a bit pricey

I think for those of us that don't mind doing our own wrenching, that the Factory Five Racing option is the way to go. Much cheaper. You can build a really hot FFR kit for 30-40k. That new 5.0 sounds like a great engine option. I wonder what one costs?

for a third car, this this would be a really awesome ride. Too bad I only have a 2-car garage.
