Sal is right!

There seams to be more activity here on Club Cobra than their e-bay sale? I too am in manufacturing and it is difficult to overcome the past at times. However, if I were to bring a high end car to market I would not start on ebay, kind of tacky if you ask me. If the first cars are high quality get them in the hands of people that can express their quality and performance character to the masses. Can they hold their own against CSX, KMS, ERA, CCX, Hi-Tech, or SPF? If they can't they will fail especially when priced above an aluminum car. Are they really a stand alone car? To me it is all Cobra with a sort of the odd rear end tailight set up and interior lines. Call it what it is and it is not even close to an MKIV in my eyes. I think the MKIV was a GREAT car and being aluminum still classic! This MKV is another replica coming to market with a name that has long been put to rest.

Would I buy AKL-MKIV? YES! Very high end car would love to own.
Would I buy a CSX, KMS, SPF, ERA, CCX, Hi-Tech, or UM? YES!

Would I buy this MKV? Depends upon the performance and quality of the car and that needs to be determined either first hand or by someone that is well known and respected in Cobra community. Buy MKV at the price stated earlier? Only if I lost my mind.
