So if all things are equal, I've concluded this rubric generally explains the majority:
People who chose with their hearts pick the fe.
People who chose with their wallets probably pick the widsor
People who chose with their heads should pick the ls7
So how does one end up with the coyote?

I would have to say it is the same reason people buy a BDR or Superformance over a Kirkham....diminishing returns. Would I rather have a Kirkham, sure, especially those all metal bodies (the copper is my favorite), but on my measley pennance, I can not afford one, so i went with a car that is still a great quality, superb looks, and a LOT less expensive. 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!
