"Pissing match"

Exactly Rick.
I bought my Contemporary knowing one thing,Its a replica,no matter how much money I sink into it making it better and more correct it is always going to be a "Contemporary" it will never be a "Shelby" Therfore it will never have the market Value that a "Shelby"(csx3XXX or csx4XXX). Yes,you are paying for the name I don't get why people question that . It happens every day, when I go to the store and grab a jar of Peter Pan peanut butter instead of the genaric brand next to it am I really getting peanut butter that is $2 better than the other? No, probably not but it's Peter Pan. A camaro has 99% of the Corvettes performance is that extra 1% worth $20,000? apparently so because it is a "corvette". what makes a "Ferrari" $100,000 better than a 'vette? Enzos name.
Is Evans car better than mine? actually right now it is but in a couple of years I'll debate that, but it will always hold its value better, Period. Do I give a Damn? No! Does the fact that he also realizes it and it made a differance to him make him a snob? No!

The name does not have anything to do with whose car is better
but it sure as hell has something to do with the value.Not right,Not wrong, just fact.

everyone have a good one,
Dan

p.s. I personally think that Kirkhams are the best Cobras but I can not afford one of those either. Oh well...
