I've driven several various types of replicas while we have had them at the shop for tuning and other work---some have decent brakes, others have Pinto/Mustangll 9inch discs---some are louder than others---some pill right or left---but one thing they all have in common is the attention they get--
We have two different routes we take out of town for a tuning run--One goes by (sometimes thru) the Chevrolet dealer( Hi Bob), the other down some side streets by a senior citizens area and then by a elementary school. Everybody that can hobble along or stand up waves at us---My son Corey goes along to moniter/record data on the computer and one day at the school, the PE class was out on the athletic field(probably 3 or 4 grade girls) and there was one little girl that was over by herself looking at us, Corey gave her a little wave and EVERYBODY on the field waved back---priceless moment that ranks right up there with everybody in the stands cheering for us as we came down the return road after setting a track record in top fuel

But, if you get one, keep up with the maintenance stuff like on brakes, steering , drive line, fuel and exhaust or it will kill you
