Default You hurt my feelings!http://clubcobra.com/forums/images/smilies/bigcry.gif

Excalibur, I hope you get to use all that HP and torque on those Honolulu freewayshttp://clubcobra.com/forums/images/smilies/laughing.gifThough I do envy you those North Coast drives you must take from time to time. I for one am glad my BDR has BMW handling and a little bit of a unique look to the trained eye. Who cares if its wheelbase is 3" longer. I think Shelby would have loved it if he could have raced today's cars. Also, those guys "back in the day" were all tinkerers and were hardly romantic about their cars. They would have done anything to improve the handling, HP or torque of their cars. If we were true collectors we'd only have originals that we waxed every week in our air-conditioned garages. I'd rather be a driver!
