So, I'm I reading you guys right that it's not the term Kit Car that bugs you but rather the negitive conotations that seem to follow the term? That's how I read it to, but I to feel Mr. Bruce is right that this will not change till a new term is in common useage.
Hmmm,,,, lets see. How about a "Component built Cobra" to describe a Factory Five? Nope. All cars are component built at the factory. Hand built? More correct but no cigar!
Jmar - Your approach is correct but I really doubt if it has any effect. The same guy you schooled today will be talking about other kit cars tomorrow with scorn. It don't seem to make any difference either if indeed they are somewhat car smart.
Raceral - I disagree that only a small % of folks know what a Cobra is. They know the car, but what they don't know are the facts about them. Enter the kit car stigma at this point and we all know the rest.
Do you guys feel odd about asking about who the manufacturer of a Cobra is too? It sorta negates or looks past the guy(s) that put it together doesn't it?
O well, just another sunday afternoon in Indy.
