Cobra Make, Engine: CSX Cars

Why not consider why some cars actually cost more. Parts yes, but what about costs that cannot be seen. I remember when I wanted an aluminum car, one of the factors that changed my mind was product liability. It was my understanding that nearly all of the manufacturers of cobras today do not carry any. I personally was not real comfortable with purchasing a car from a manufacturer who did not carry it, what happens if someone in the shop installs a Grade 2 bolt in lieu of a Grade 8. I can see the 70 mph highway cruise turning into a mess. At least I would have recourse or my family would. And based on what we pay I know this would be a considerable amount on each car. I would even bet that some of the insurance companies will drop replica cars based on this. Selling a car and calling it a race car just so this can be avoided is not a solution.
