Ok, you can discuss now

That's the second time you've posted that to me, are you trying to say something?

I also am not sure what that has to do with what I wrote? Yes, new CSXs are component cars, as pretty much all other modern Cobras are, because they have to be sold as such for the obvious reason they do not meet current DOT and EPA standards for a new completed automobile.
