I seems to me that there will always be the segment that simply must have an FE, but it sure sounds like things are trending to the SBF strokers as Brent and Lance have mentioned. Easier on the wallet for sure and now days putting up some good numbers.:cool: |

FFR is a kit and, magically, when they're finished, they're a Cobra replica. Holy cow! That's amazing! By SAAC's definition of a replica/kit car and by the State of California, as with many other states. ERA's can be purchased as a kit too, any many customers build their own ERA's. There are some actual build threads in the ERA Forum. Holy cow! Amazing! In fact, in the early days of Shelby and Kirkham producing replicas, they also sold their cars as kits. "It's all in the Registry." But hey, you've got an opinion, which you're entitled to have. In my view, whether you own a Cobra that came in pieces and/or dropped a dune buggy engine in it, it's still a Cobra replica and started as a kit car. |

MK3 & MK4 Roadster It's magical how a kit is transformed into a replica, like a caterpillar into a butterfly. |

I hate to be a bit cynical, but the OP seemed to me to be a "sponsored ad."
What's the best engine for a Cobra? :rolleyes: |

Didn't 'ol Carroll himself say that "427" was the model name, not the engine type or displacement?
Or are we gonna argue over what he meant? ;) :LOL: |

I certainly hope you didn't waste a lot of time on finding that listing. :rolleyes: Actually, you're so confused now that you've lost your original point, which was what defines a kit car versus a replica: A. "state of assembly" (i.e., "If it's in boxes....."), or B. engine manufacturer (only Ford engines) need apply (e.g., no Viper V10's). My answer, "It's all in the Registry." Quote:

Ehh, changed my mind and came back. I can think for myself and change my mind. I'm not ruled by a registry. ;)
No sir, not confused at all. You can clearly see, by your beloved registry standards, what constitutes as a replica. :LOL: Which CSX number is that one? 666? Your stance is that a kit car and a replica are the same. My stance is that you should pick up a dictionary. |

How about this? http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/atta...d-vw_cobra.jpg That replica would look right nice sitting beside your Kirkham replica, wouldn't it? |
