Haven't heard of anyone doing the cobra V8 swap in some time. I think at the end of the day it comes down to being more novelty than anything so you can say, "I have one" the new RS will likely run circles around this setup. Too nose heavy, no traction for the rear wheels, I remember seeing one on focusfanatics some time ago where with 5 people in the car it'd break the tires loose fairly easily in second gear.
Little bit of show, little bit of go.
