ATexasSnake,

Yeah, you hit the "holier than thou" nerve here. You don't have a Cobra and neither do I. If I had a Cobra, it'd have a Ford engine. Since I do not, it does not matter what I put in it.

And you DO have a kit car, although you may call it what you want. I've been around these things a lot longer than you and they only started to be called REPLICAs by folks who couldn't build them started to own them. Back when getting one of these was more than just writing a check, they were kit cars. Now that all you need to do is write a check, they have become called replicas, but they are still the same kit cars...

Just because your car was built by someone you paid to do the work for you, you think that makes the difference between a kit and a replica? pleeeeeeaaaaaasssssse..... You could have paid Jesus himself to assemble the variety and mish-mash of parts in your car and it is still a kit car.

Bottom line - you missed my earlier point - Your car is not a Cobra or even a Ford, so why is it blasphemy to use a non-ford powerplant?
