Default Lower cost

I had a great time at your place in October, been racking my brain trying to figure out how to afford one of your cars and keep my wife. I don't think its a problem to spend $30-$40K on a car cause that's what a person would spend on BMW, or some other nice sports car. Like the others I wonder if you could use the alum Lincoln IRS diff., and maybe find a front spindle that is mass produced to use like ERA does. I'm refinancing my home at 4.75% so maybe I will have to decide between the 427 and the FIA hybrid. Another thought, just because you offer a lower price alternative to the authentic replica doesn't take anything away from the people who want every nut and bolt as it was in the 60's. ie, a Z/28 doesn't dilute the Z06. Personally I would hate to put one of your beautiful bodies on a less competent chassis, especially since I've seen how much it takes to make one handle properly (like Alison and Nate Hines).

Hope this helps.

John
