Sorry, it's not a given.
Well, what do you know. You painted a Kirkham.

What's ironic here is that Porsche-philes don't really give 2 $hits about Cobras for the most part. A few years back, I posted a pic of my Kirkham, got a few nice responses, but in general, Porsche fans feel the same way you do about Porsches.

I wouldn't agree with that, Knockers.
My experience says that of all the brand/model loyal car guys there are, it is the Porsche guys who long for visceral Cobra more than any other, even Corvette owners. They tire of the Singer sounding engine and cold, German feel.
They're fantastic machines but they don't make my blood boil, especially in the looks dept.
And who says they're fast, anyways.....
By the time we reach our temporary destination, I will have had the ride of my life. Him...not so much.

I'm kinda doubting that Einstein was contemplating painting a Cobra replica when he said that, but you know what Mahatma Gandhi said, "Full effort is full victory."

So, I'm giving you a "victory" with that Einstein quote.

Better than most around here.

interesting but not true, the most sportscar-dudes understand both worlds and both concepts, back in the 50th and 60th the porsches were the fastest with as-little-as-possible-engines, and the cobras the fastest with the as-big-as-possible-engines,
both concepts were epic successful

Can you kindly reference the post number that you've quoted RK from in your post above?

Have you perhaps taken some liberties in misquoting RK?


Again, hard to justify giving your comments any integrity when your behaviour suggests you lack any. Tsk tsk...

So to the OP, I'd definitely go the GT3
Imagine having to be forced to park next to another SPF gt40 at a car show or track day only to have to hang out with for folks like this for the day. Dealing with small doses of delusion can be fun but imagine putting up with it for the day

Enjoy your day.


Ps. Sorry, Only in your dreams fan boy

Yes, he's altered a post of mine, but that's what trolls do.

I'm asking nicely sir, stop with the bromance. Not interested.
