Would it be wrong to clone a Cobra r?

The Cobra wasn't cool because it looked good. it was cool because it performed great. So, get a V8 New Edge, and start adding fancy power bits. I wouldn't use a 5.4 Modular by the way, I'd use a 4.6 supercharged out of a Terminator.

I see no problem with a replica provided you try to get the drivetrain as close as possible.
>N/A 5.4L DOHC V8
mmm. nice if you can make it scream.

you can do that and still have people ask you if its a v6 like they do for mine

>i drive a 98 gt with a cobra front bumper, and the car roars with the sound of a 4.6 liter, and all the badges on the car say gt or 4.6... WHAT IN THE HELL TELLS YOU THIS IS A V6 YOU STUPID CUNTS?

if you want a ricer go for it

looks dumb but its fast as shit

Your money senpai do what you please. I understand the cost issue. Let me ask you are you just making it look like a cobra r or also having the drivetrain. Doing a drivetrain swap can get expensive quick, but all exterior parts can be had fairly cheap. A good paint job is expensive.
