Bonyhadi: I think, as you said, you took my meaning wrong. I have a great deal of respect for CS and the Cobra. However, I don't think he should get Royalties for every knock off there is, but that's a different matter. My anger was with the whole process of comparing the cars and several road blocks I have run into. As I said, I sent an e mail and got no response and then called him directly and got the "it's a Shelby" response. It just didn't cut it on that day. With the exception of Roy Hunt, I have found relatively few people who are really good at expainling some of the basics to someone who is learning. I know I ask a lot of stupid or basic questions and I don't mean to irritate or bother anyone. But whether a $100,000 Shelby or a $25,000 FFR its a fair amount of money and more importantly probably a one time decision for most of us. Therefore, getting it right is important. I didn't want to buy a Superformance and then have to sell it to buy a Kirkham or a Shelby. Same with the engine. The whole selection of the engine is still something I'm reviewing. It obviously involves a lot more than I understand. Like so many other things, a lot of it involves opinion and there are no right answers.
