Appreciate the feedback. I have no doubt that the SPF coupe is vastly superior to the original, just as the modern roadsters are - I just have a problem with replicas that stray from dimensions and intent resulting in another animal altogether. I have no doubt that this would have been the coupe Brock would have built in a perfect world. But in that same world, Shelby's Cobra would be Chevy powered as well.
I drove my Cobra up from LA, and good God it was miserable - but I'm just not the kind of enthusiast who wants to take an open, noisy, hot, stinky hot rod and turn it into a roomy Mercedes. If that's an issue, I'll drive the Mercedes.
I want my Daytona damn close to original for those beans.
I really hope they find a demographic - but to me, this car is a Viper in Daytona clothing, and you don't need to tap dance with the title to a Viper.
And, as I said, I'm a stubborn purist - I'm not bagging on the effort. I'm sure it's an incredible machine.
And Shelby is sueing Brock? Is there no bottom to this mean old SOB's petty agenda? I guess he's determined to go to the grave bitter and disliked.
