Brian:
I concur with your thoughts. It is difficult to truly find the truth about a Cobra unless you are able to exam in person.
That is one of the primary drivers that convinced me to spend considerably more than I wanted to on a Cobra purcahse. I selected SPF because I knew exactly what I was getting. I saw it , drove it (3 times), called current openers and read the advice here. Then and only then did I fall in love with it. I followed the same logic when I selected Eric to build my engine. Stability and reputation is key in this business.
There is no question SAI has "the" legacy name in the Cobra business. Yet from a consumer standpoint how could support a company right now who appears to lack direction and a clear vision? It is a public relation nightmare.
I know there are other great replica manufactures out there and I hope SAI all the best. I would just be very reluctant to buy one until they consistently prove their stability, product quality and price /value relationship.
Today, if your product doesn't perform well the brand name is meaningless. Brands are only desirable if they deliver and or exceed the consumer's expectation. Otherwise, the we try harder group will and I think already did sneak up and kick arse.
Competition bread excellence. God Bless the Untied States of America. DAMN right!
