Octane Booster

[Jason Lee Nye]

Captain said, “There are differences in all Cobras and the price reflects what you get.”

I have a hard time believing this is coming from an intelligent adult? We all have our reasons for spending a certain amount. Back in the day when there was less, the replicas could pull bigger numbers on a return. Who was the competition and how did the performance and quality compare? These days there are tons more Cobras on the road, more competition and the old arguments of past do not hold up. The numbers speak for themselves on the track, whether Captain wants to believe it or not. With the performance numbers out of the way because after all it is a matter of more money = horsepower and handling and it is a useless pi$4ing contest to engage in. As for resale, hands down on the average the Superformances fetch more, however what percentage of a hit does an owner take when they decide to resale? The real question is on average how much does do the cars lose value on a resale? I recently sold my Factory 5 Roadster and actually got a few dollars more than I paid for it after 2 years of enjoying it. I didn’t build it and I knew I wanted to build one so I bought a Spec Racer, I will let you know how it is when I finish it. Which this now leads me to the last point, rather than price reflecting what you get, the REALITY is the value and performance is reflected by the quality of the build.

Superformance are quality built pretty much ready to go rollers. We all have our own reasons to build or buy ready to drive Cobras. We have different reasons on the amount we choose to spend. The finished product is what we are judged with. At car shows people drool same over whether it was a Superformance, Shell Valley, Factory 5 ect..

While you wish to judge fellow Cobra (fakey dos) by our wallets, some of us judge each other by the quality of our finished product. They are all fakes for @*%’s sake and it is quite comical to watch someone tear down another fake to raise another fake above it.

And to tie this into the original thread, you don’t always get what you pay for regarding the octane boost. Is it really worth it to pour this stuff down the tank or should I say drain?

p.s. this Captain fellow has a certain arrogance that reminds me of a certain person who was of the meat flavor? Perhaps it it’s the way he antagonizes, I don’t know? Clearly the Captain is emotional, but the arrogance is so high he doesn’t even realize it. The arrogance can get to a point that they no longer realize that their emotion turns to a “matter of fact” in their mind. Quite funny to watch.
