Looking to buy Cobra Replica

[Barnsnake]

Dafuser:
I'm betting you bought Roy's Lonestar. Nice car.
You'll need to drop in to the Lonestar forums as well.

You'll need to join us for a cruise now that you're in "the neighborhood".

Dafuser:

Don't expect much love for the Lone Star's on this forum even though they are, IMO, superior to the Factory Fives. Recent sales prices bear this out. You've bought a nice car. Join the Lone Star forum and enjoy.

Excuse me, but I take issue with what you say. There is nothing wrong with this forum and particularly the Texas Cobra Club sub-area. I have met and socially spent time with many people on this forum and don't recall anybody dissing someone else's car because it a Lone Star, Hurricane, CSX, or Factory Five. I have seen some damn crappy Lone Stars and some really nice ones. Same goes for Factory Five. It really comes down to how the person built the car. In any event claiming one brand is superior to another brand is just asking for an argument. Sales price doesn't really prove much of anything since both brands value are heavily dependent on craftsmanship and parts that are used to build the car.

So you have a nice day too..

BTW, Jay... You need to get back up to LCS soon. There were several people that dropped your name when they found out I was from DFW..

Welcome Dafuser. I know the car you purchased. Roy did a good job with it. Sorry he wanted to sell. He will be missed. Hopefully Roy will swing by the cruises we have. Enjoy your hotrod dude!

Uh, really? Haven't you read any of the "my fake cobra is better than your fake cobra" threads that appear with regularity here?

Really, I intended no offense but I didn't do a very good job of explaining my comment. It stems from a number of threads where any fake cobra that doesn't try to emulate an original is viewed as sub-standard. That particularly gets applied to Lone Star's and Backdraft's, et al, with stretched bodies. what cracks me up is that these comments come from people driving around in "perky butted" FFR's.

I love all cobras. It's all good. Sorry to pick on the FFR. I was just clumsily trying to point out to a new guy a little Lone Star history on this forum.

Dafuser,

You’re about to have the most fun you’ve ever had with an automobile… largely due to the people you will meet as well as the friends you will make.

Now that you’re officially a Cobra owner I’d suggest you start another thread and tell us more about the car – Including photos!!

Best wishes.

Nope, not here in the Texas Cobra Club forum area! I presume your talking about other areas of Club Cobra.. I'm glad I don't waste my time in other areas if that's what goes there..

I just got back from LCS and saw just about every brand and talked to a ton of owners. Not one owner came across acting like their car was superior to my Factory Five Roadster. Just a bunch of mutual appreciation of the cars, hobby and each other..
