Hi Tech sure has made some very accurate cars in years past. But accuracy was more sought after in the early days of replicas than it is today. The "modern" replica Cobra's celebrate things like , "modern", bigger, better, cheaper, more reliable, quicker, etc. etc. This new trend often leads many to denigrate those who strive for accuracy, which is to bad. I for one really appreciate an exceptionally well done accurate to detail replica Cobra, while I can still admire a more modern approach as well.

Now THIS 289 Hi Tech would be SO much better with original valve covers, for instance, it has way to much "bling" to be an "exact replica". To many "modern" parts showing through.
