Ya, I've looked around. And the one I'm chiding is the only one here who has to push their car. Oh, and the only here who spent $50,000 on painting their car a base house trim color and on a 302/4bbl. Geez, what's the point other than to throw good money after bad?

Since you prefer the bubblegum colors maybe this one is for you. A bit outside your budget I suspect but who knows. You and Bernie could sell those bucket of bolts you have and pool your money. I do suggest you take some driving lessons given the incidents above where your right foot got ahead of your driving skills.

$259,000? For a replica? DuPont Registry?

Or you can buy the red GT40 on CobraCountry asking $133,500. I'd rather have a real factory production car. Better in every way for $260,000. Porsche. There is no substitute.

I love the "details," "8 cylinder engine."

Not my favorite color, but at least it's a color.

Rod, I'll just say this. You're not the first who has tried to poopoo my car. The list is long and undistinguished. I do feel bad for some but the fact remains however unsavory it is for some, it does not matter if you're driving a chrome Cobra or a Heritage Ford GT, or for that matter a brand new V6 powered half million dollar rolling eco-boost commercial. When my kit car, replica, fake, whatever you want to call it, GT40 pulls in the same lot as whatever you have brought, the disappointment is going to powerful and long lasting. There are people in this thread with first hand knowledge whether they will admit it or not. You will go home with the same feeling you had when you saw your favorite girl Suzy kissing the new boy in 2nd grade. About all that is left to say is I'm sorry...

Yes, and you can also say it's a reproduction, tribute and copy too made by Superformance, not even remotely the same company as the REAL GT40's were made by in 1960's. But SPF does make a very nice replica. No doubt about it.

As for whether my polished aluminum "Kirkum" with a 482ci BBF would get more or less attention, I'd rather focus on which of us, personally, would get more attention, and who's got more or less body fat. Since you did say we're all fat here many pages ago. I haven't forgotten.

You see, what would be more important in my view, is what can you clean & jerk, snatch, deadlift or squat? Can you do a handstand push-up? Can you climb a rope? I'm going to say, you can't, because you probably spend too much time going "vroom, vroom" inside your SPF since it doesn't move under its own power.
