Finally! They've been teasing this for a long time now. It's good to see it finally in production. Thanks for the heads up.

this one isnt a kit from what i understand.. its also $600,000 from what the article said.  you could prolly build 20 factory five roadsters for the price of this one.  but i cant get over the custom built all aluminum 427.  just take a look at the car with everything opened up (trunk and hood) its a full on car.

the headlights arent mini cooper headlights.  here's a 2008 mini cooper s.  the headlights are similar, i give you that, but not the same.

It looks sad.  Maybe because it isn't a real Cobra?

Wow, that's big money. I'd rather get the GTM kit for $20k and build it up to my own specs from there:

The Diablo used 300ZX lights. There are a lot more high end cars out there who did too. Like an Aston Martin with Jetta tail lights, and the Locus Plet using '02 Thunderbird tails.
