Oh, and another thing, I had a sick idea about buying up a totaled saleen or cobra. I love my car dearly and wanted to make the saleen a parts car to fix up the V6. But the VINs make the idea retarded. Ok, so I could have a saleen replicar, or a restored saleen, now which sounds better to you? Techincally one would make the v6 the parts car for the saleen, the other way around may just seem stupid and weird.
But being that I love my car and spent more than 6 years of "our" life together, turning my love into a parts car sickens me more. So now then, if I were to fix it up, why should it be cast down as a crappy replicar than a restored saleen? I mean, no matter which way I went with it, the amount of the actual saleen pieces would only be a fraction of the real car?
Now I can see the annoyance of a 145hp car displaying cobra emblems... Ok, some punk kid challenges the v6 and wins, soon he tells everyone he smoked a cobra. And soon the cobra community is looked down upon. I have a cobra rr hood, cobra r rims, custom front bumper, and a two piece speedster cover. I've had tons of people ask if its a cobra, saleen, mach, whatever. But I display my v6 badges with pride and tell them. And I dont except races I know I'll lose. My pieces are missed matched any way. No cobra or saleen, roush, bullet, or whatever in 1994 looked like that. Anyone running around town claiming I'm one is deadly wrong. It just "looks fast"
