Reading this thread has provoked some emotion in my soul and I too need to vent a little. Please be so kind as to read the byline on the homepage of PREMIER MotorSports, LLC and the "why buy from us" page of Pegasus Engineering. You may get to them by visiting the landing page at
www.premiercobras.com and clicking on the "replica cobra" link and the "reproduction cobra" link.
Every piece of steel in our cars is Earl Jorgensen - certified and made in the U.S. All of our composites are from Ashland Chemical - made in the good old US of A. And I will guarantee you that EVERY time we find a part that can be made in the U.S. we try to find someone needing the work and make sure they have a job. Or if we have a choice to buy American made or somewhere else....we buy at home. One dollar makes the rounds seven times in a local economy. AND WE'RE DOING OUR PART.
Fact is, we painted our 2004 show car Red, White and Blue and named it the "All American Cobra". Think that was a coincidence? NOT!! The red, white, and blue color theme may just remain our show Cobra colors. We're proud to put our car's heritage, quality, and value up against anyone - anytime - anyplace. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS REPLY AS AN "in your face" towards any other company or individual. It definitively is not. We all have the ability to seek our own destiny and to do what's in our own best interest. And we wish to all the very best that life may bring regardless of your endeavors.
That said, we believe, with all our heart and soul, that we're building the right product and at the right place to build it. It may cost more to build and our profitability may be less than others....be we're creating AMERICAN manufacturing jobs - good jobs. And we're building a product that takes second place to no one in form, fit, function, and quality.
Thank you for letting me get this off of my chest.
