Yeah, everyone was saying this was going to legitimize the Cobra space and new manufacturers would come out of the woodwork and that the majors would be offering complete builds.

Somehow I just don't see 325 people lining up to buy a Superformance Cobra or GT40 replica (which both are licensed) with a LS3 (currently the only engine that qualifies under this plan). Ford's Coyote is NOT on the list (yet... Will they? Who knows). I'm surprised to see Lance saying this. When I spoke to him right after this started he said he wasn't interested because of the long term paperwork they'd have to retain compared to the real projected volumes it would add. You're NOT going to get a completed car for the price of a roller + self installed engine.
