Once again I am stunned at how fast a simple post has degenerated into the REAL vs. KIT debate. Now most of the posts I read on these threads I find somewhat amusing but I have to say that wheather or not he meant it that way I find Terry Lee's post possibly the most offensive,elitest condescending post I have ever read on this site. Talk about a slap in the face of 95% of the people here. I know alot of guys think that Evans posts are condescending but if you really read them they are not. He will fight to the death as to whether or not his car is a REAL SHELBY COBRA (which by the way it is) but I can't think of a post where he has actually put down someone else's car. He has his beliefs and opinions and he sticks to his guns without personally attacking(as far as I can tell) the ones who question him. For that I respect him.

Terry -as for your post I hate to tell you but I have seen an awful lot of Home built ERA's,Contemporary's, Unique's and even FFR "KIT CARS" that I would take over an SPF any day. Not to say that SPF's are not good their quality speaks for itself but just because it was assembled in a factory does not mean it is any better than an FFR that someone spent countless hours and love putting together "JUST RIGHT". Ever heard of a Yugo,Pinto or Gremlin? They were factory built!

Oh yeah....I would take a JBL "kit" on the Track over your SPF every day.

Sorry about the Rant guys but that one really got under my skin.
everyone have a good one,
Dan

p.s. This probably stems from the fact that I just finished my round of golf by bogeying a 570 yrd par 5 that I was on the green in 2, GRRRR....
