Same with the Coyote, if I could find an LS7 for $6k, I'd be all over it...but there aren't any (new ones), so i went with a (so far) reliable motor with a lot of horsepower and the same modern technology.
But if your going to go that far, get an original.....or at least the real name-brand Shelby. It's almost cracks me up that there are "classes" amongst the replicas.
"My fake car is better than your fake car!" And "My not-the-same engine is better than your not-the-same engine."
For me it's about the best bang for my buck! But, then again, I'm a FNG!

Well, technically some are a whole hell of a lot better than others and some are more like the real cars and deserve to be called a replica, where others deserve to be called a kit for good reason.

Phew! I think the intervention worked. We were about to initiate proceedings to revoke your Kirkham membership. |

What??? If you did that, I'd be forced to buy an ERA with a crappy mod engine in it...

Yeah and I also hear he has a gang called 'da bunnies' that do most of his dirty work and dig up all sorts of negative info on people.
And Rodknock, yeah that's it! Only I had one on each side hoping it would sound twice as awesome!

Mark,
You have no idea what "Da Bunnies" have dug out of your deepest, darkest, skeleton closet.....Things that would make most blush, or run from your housing screaming in terror.......But not to worry, "Da bunnies" have not had a reason to expose  those things publicly at this time.

I've heard that the first rule of "Da Bunnies" club, is "We never talk to anyone about what happened to Capt. Dave". |
