No, it does NOT take 4 years to redesign a replica, it takes as long as it takes to make it right!
Superformance was "truthfully" NOT part of the Mongoose lawsuit. Superformance has been licensed by GM since 2009 and has never been sued by GM.
A prototype/proof of concept was built and shown in 2010. The decision was then to go forward and revise the chassis and interior. That has been an ongoing project at the factory that was not top priority so it has taken longer than you might have expected.
No, the "Mongoose" car is NOT the same as the Superformance. Obviously the exteriors look the same, the are Grand Sport replicas after all.
How long does it take a Leaf to purchase a Cobra, oh, wait, never mind...................
