Cobra's generally aren't cheap and looking at this, may well be in your budget.

I know which I'd rather have.....

I built a sumo with the father in law about 4 years back, Not the easyest of things to do but worth all the effort in the end. Also not as expensive as you might imagine, even with the big V8 and leather as far as the eye can see!

Of course, the Cobra is a much taller car than a Seven!

T'other way about.
Personal opinion is Scratch build own design (must work though), Scratch build of recognised plans, then kits, then bought built cars, more importantly than all of that is you love what you've done and enjoy your acheivement, whether it be cutting and welding or writting a check you're either a petrol head or your not.

my mate pete is building a cobra - in the same garage as me!
QUITE a difference in size
i think we guestimated his engine (5.7 chevvy small block with auto box) alone will weigh the same as my complete (one day) viento !

I think I would go for the sumo rather than the Dax. I aways thought their car was well-developed even in the early days and good value for money.
