Evan, this is what I said. I said I don't know if it's better or not, but the Kirkhams claim that it is lighter in older threads. They also R&D their suspension (e.g., some of the Larry Ellison improvements are trickling down to the production cars) as well as other parts of the car, though some or all of these improvements move it further away from being authentic.
