I'll post on this topic again and offer soem more insight after seeing one of these super cars at WFC5 in St. Louis two weeks ago. I was at first sceptical of the cars ability and performance. Yes we are talkin 390 stock Hp without playing with fuel and air mixtures, headers, ignition and other basic mods that we all do. 390 Hp stock is a great thing. BUT, look at Dan's or Nicolles cars. These cars are capable of making alot more than 390 Hp. I know they arent a Cobra but who really cares. I am going out on a limb here and am going to say that neither Dan or Nicolle have $35 thousand invested in they're cars. I am sure they ahve spent aot of money for the performance and quality of car they have but not $35 grand. I am just becoming more and more disgusted everyday with the over pricing of vehicles. Yes I understand that the dealers must make money, this is how they are able to continue selling cars. I understand that, just because the car has something special doesnt mean they can jack the price up as much as they do. I recall looking at a Prowler at the local Dodge place just to see one. I specifically rememebr the $44,000 MSRP and the $76,000 dollar sticker price.

Sorry to get off on a rant, these cars are very nice but I had rather take half the money, build twice the car and have the fun and enjoyment of beating the mid-life crisis jokers that will be able to afford these cars on the street.

Thank you and I return the soap box to you.
