    Yeah it's a kit car. This was the car that made me decide which painter to go for! I seen it after it was painted, first time seeing it finished so I had a good look around it and I love it!

    It looks incredible, any idea what bhp from that monstrous engine, id say it would out drag a vervon

    As beautiful as that engine is & it is a work of art... with what must be massive amounts of both money & time spent to make it that shiny... Call me old fashioned but I'd much rather see a more true to the original Ford V8 (be it a 289, 302, 351, 427 or even a new modular) in a Cobra rep rather than a small block Chev

    I was exaggerating a bit, but still probably 300 plus bhp carrying around a glassfibre shell should be quick to say the least

    That Cobra could have a 450hp crate motor for all I know, but some small block Chevys gave out as little as 130 bhp when new like some of the 305's, adding an Edelbrock inlet manifold and 4 barrell carb and freeflow exhaust and headers might give an extra 40 or 50 hp, the other shiny stuff adds nothing.

    On the old n3 by the big garden centre I passed a 458 Italia in Rosso red on uk plates, it was coming the other way so no pics, but it is gorgeous in the flesh. Wider than I thought, was just pottering along at 60, I know if I was in it on uk plates you'd only see a red blur!

    Hmmmmm good question. On the track the 911 was without a doubt the most fun. Unbelievable turn in, so sharp and awesome brakes. Genuinely scary too at times.

    Day to day id take the R8. I drove the v10 version last year and its nigh on perfect in every way.

    For sound the lambo just sounds amazing,when it hits about 3000rpm it just goes mad. Aston was very very comfortable and surprisingly good in the corners but actually not that fast. On a long cruise it would be great though.

    Money no object and any choice I'd go for the Porsche. Its just the best drivers car by a mile.
