Turnkey Vs Kits >>why?

[mrmustang]

Rick,

The way I see it there are two sets of people, those who can build their own car and want to do it, and those that cannot build their own car, or do not want to do it themselves. To each his own I always say. As for fit and finish, I have personally seen (owned and judged at shows) several "kit built" Cobras where the fit and finish has exceeded that of what Superformance has currently out on the market. Guess it's all in the details, and knowing what your looking at in the long run. I do hope you enjoy your car, it's going to be one hell of a ride from the sounds of your build up. Finally, in regards to resale, I do not hold the Superformance cars as high as you do, I think your missing the actual market right now and the pricing hit that a lot of the higher end "Turn Key Minus" cars such as yours are currently experiencing. With the new CSX4000 SA fiberglass series at $39,000-$42,000, coupled with the new Kirkham $39,995 offering, I'm seeing quite a few of the $55,000-$65,000 asking prices on the Superformance cars all of a sudden dropping to the $38,000-$45,000 range, and selling in that range and not higher at this time. You want a sound investment in a Cobra, the previously mentioned two cars above are the sure bet (if there ever is one in regards to a Cobra replica/continuation car).......Again, you have pride in your new toy, and your decision on purchasing it, nothing wrong with that. But to say it is a superior product to everything else out there does sound a bit arrogant, even though it may not have been your intentions.............Enjoy the ride, drive it all year round like it was meant to be. Perhaps we'll see you at the DVSF IV this year...............I look forward to it...............



Sincerely,

Bill S.
