IMO, there's a "Law of Diminishing Returns" when it comes to the "originality" of a replica. But whatever toots your horn.  |
I know what you're saying but I think what we've hit on is Cobra person vs Hot Rodder. For a Cobra guy, he wants a Cobra but is bank-account-challenged! (I fit in this category!) Only a close replica is going to give him the experience of owning an original, which is his ultimate goal. A Hot Rodder doesn't care. The car kind of sort of looks like a Cobra and it's fast! That's the hobby for him.
