nah - Purchasing used helps a lot. There is some pretty good margin between purchasing used and a new roller. I got a great platform and I get to build what I want.
Building a Cobra with Shelby weight (not sure I will make it, but not for lack of trying), ERA chassis, ERA suspension, aluminum engine, and lite weight gearbox is a very gratifying thing to work on. I am fortunate I have the means and it makes me smile every time I see it.
. I waited I long time to get the opportunity and I am enjoying every minute. That it is 12 years old just makes it that much better for me.
I intend to enjoy it for years to come .
- unless it turns out to be a complete POS.
