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.
