On first glance, the G350 Cobra inspired Replica looks as if its been for a ride underneath an oversized rolling pin. Long, slender, and with curves in all the right places, the identity of the car is certainly worthy of praise. But it's not until you're able to get up close and personal with the G350 that you truly understand the design and brainpower behind the creation of this replica.
When I came face to face with the Cobra for the first time - I was possibly unfortunate enough to encounter it from the most imposing angle - the front. Unless you were a hundred percent sure that it was a mechanical vehicle parked up, you might be reminded of childhood horrorish nightmares - the ones where you were gobbled up by a scary monster.
No, I'm not saying that the car is ugly - it's anything but. I'm simply drawing your attention to the oversized grill and goggle eyed headlights which feature prominently from the front perspective. Aesthetics aside, it's time to venture under the hood, and scrutinize the GM Gen IV LS2 engine.
Here comes my traditional list of performance statistics.

Ahh, thanks GM! Since 2004, the company which manufactures the Cobra inspired Replica opted to use this new development from the large company, and in doing so - actually became the first small time vehicle manufacturer to utilize such powerful technology.
To this very day - the benefits of this engine are appreciated by all G350 drivers. Ask any of them, and they will be first to tell you that the flawless design and execution of the engine on the production process has lead to a trouble free, and low maintenance end product.
And last, but not least - a car like this just wouldn't be complete without a quick "special features" list. On this particular model, customizable and add-on features such as additional luggage space, removable headrests, and Mohair + leather trim, all make for a desirably stunning vehicle.
