Would you buy a cobra with a Chevy 350?

Hammer,

Ohhhh... I do a lot more than yap/type. My rodent goes to real tracks on a regular basis. I have real times on road and drag courses to back it up. Thats how I know which of the Cobras around here are actually fast and which are just fast in bench racing. Check my sig line.

As far as your claim about the "bottom line", I think how you do at the track IS the bottom line for cars like these. Track runs ARE what these cars are for. If you came up next to me at a light and I embarrased you in front of your entourage/posse, would you just state that yours is worth more and would that soothe your ego? I think we both know what the real bottom line is.

Frankly I dont care what it is worth. I didnt build it as an investment. In fact, going to the track is what these cars are supposed to do, but I could wad it up in a corner and have a total loss. Oh well... I'd just have to build something else to have fun with.

Anyone who cares so much about what these kit cars are worth should not buy one. Your money will maintain more stable value under your freekin mattress. All these kits decrease in value. They are not investments. Mine has been in my family for 20 years and may never be sold.

If you had a Chevy 350 in the car, just get adapters to mount Ford valve covers, and paint the block and heads (if not aluminum) blue. Glue a fake distributer in the front and cover the real one in the back and (90% of the population would never know!

OK, now this is toooo rich. This your car?



So you're a member of the "10 Sec Club" and have times from road courses to back it up as well? All this with a single roll bar that is 3" lower than your helmeted head? Hope you don't wind up on your lid. No track that I've ever been to would let you run that quick with that bar. Oh, and "track runs are what these cars are for" and your car has (is that genuine velour) head rests? That for reduced drag or something? "Check my sig line" You goober, check mine!

Now all kidding aside, I love the paint on that puppy including the non-traditional ghost stripes. But I hate the vet wheels which I guess are necessitated by the vet suspension? Dude, you have so much vet stuff in that car and you're obviously a chebby guy, which beggs the question; why not just build a chebby? Is a replica GS vet or something like that not cool enough? I mean you have to admit that all your mechs would be more suited to that end. And that would be a badazz car in its own right.
