EASY ON ERNIE.

EVERYONE IS SOMEWHAT RIGHT ABOUT THE NUMBERS, OK.
THIS DOESN'T ALTER THE FACT THAT THE MORE ACCURATE CARS WITH WHATEVER NUMBERS USUALLY COST MORE.

IT GETS DOWN TO THE POINT; WHO CARES??
BUY OR BUILD WHAT YOU WANT OR CAN AFFORD.
THEY ALL HOLD THEIR VALUE FAIRLY WELL.

PAY LESS, YOU GET LESS RISK, MORE USEABILITY AND LESS RESPONSIBILITY.

PAY MORE, YOU GET MORE RISK, LESS USEABILITY AND MORE RESPONSIBILITY.

AS ERNIE SAYS, MOST PEOPLE AT A "NORMAL" CAR SHOW LIKE COBRAS ANYWAY AND DON'T "PERCEIVE" MUCH DIFFERENCE IN CAR VALUE AT ALL.
I HAVE EVEN HEARD PEOPLE SAY THAT A $200,000 ORIGINAL WAS "NOT AS NICE" AS THE OTHER COBRAS PRESENT. THE OWNER WAS OFFENDED. THE REPLICA GUYS LOVED IT. GUESS WHO WENT HOME THE MOST HAPPY?

THE ANSWER IS....................."EVERYBODY" IF IT DIDN'T RAIN.
