It's just better than sweating in a car with no roof, no AC, no radio, no cup holders, inhaling gas fumes and stuck in New York City traffic.

Not quite the real racing, isn't it? :-)
I was 23 when I finished my first (Phoenix) Cobra. What a POS. The RAM in '93 was many times better.
I could have never built the first one if my dad had not given me the funds for the kit. Could have bought a new eco box (OPEL Corsa 1.2l) for the same money!
The future in the kit car industrs lies in financing. But who finances a kit, if 85% of them are unfinished? Complete cars have a better chance to get leasing or financing. We offer such for the GT40s we import into Germany. Leasing, Warranty and offer to buy them back after.
If you trade in expensive cars, on the level of Porsche, AUDI R8, Ferrari with a "Replica" you better offer comparable service.
I am generally of the opinion that Cobra "replicas" (you know what cars I mean) are way too expensive. But maybe only because I know what it costs to build them.
