I think there is a lot more work than you think to do to get that Thunderbird into the 9's. If you have a builder do the work, I wouldn't be the least bit suprised to see you spend just as much on the Thunderbird as you would the Cobra. The Cobra isn't going to run 9's, but with some good hook and some minor changes, 11's are well within reason.
I like the Thunderbird a lot too. It's a great sleeper car, and I think they look pretty sweet. That being said, those cars aren't even a close comparison as to which I'd rather have.
