It's proportions are too far out of wack, a lower or longer hood and wheel arches that were higher, many little things that would have made it "palatable".
But like all these new cars made to look like a restomod they are trying to fix what's not broken. Fit the new stuff in a kit shell and it'd be far better in everything aside crash safety.
The few cars that pulled it off, didn't exactly copy, but were done right are rare. It's next to impossible to get a car to pay homage like the 05-06 Ford GT. They copied the proportions and didn't do too much to the formula (doing the tech underneath). Wish they did the Cobra the same, even just with a sc 4.6 from the Terminator, just get the CI to 289 from 281....deal with a 427 side oiler modern analog later. But I love roadsters. A kit cobra with a good top that goes up or down in a minute, not a Coleman tent with a Coyote and the s550 irs/ suspension tuned for a cobra would be lovely. Just Borrow from the Jag F type... trade more ecoboosts for landrover to make it cheaper, get some AC looking skin on it and ford powertrain and bits. Like the Fiat Miata.
