Ok, if you got to build one replica/kit car - what would it be??

[geno]

OK I lied, I have 3 I'd like to have
Shelby Cobra (with something bigger than the 302 that most people use)
Ford GT40 (saw a kit car of one before, they just look nice as hell)
and a Lamborghini Miura

I'm curious, and it's something different from the "what's your dream car"

Definately the Cobra. Skip the winpy 302 though (OK it's not really wimpy) and go with the B&B 429 CobraJet. Can you say "One BAD MOFO"???

 

[Quaggoth]

I say go with the Cobra, but use a 351C. Have you ever looked at the Torque curve on one (Or I should say Torque Platou)? The engine is a LOT cheaper to blueprint, and it's lighter, which will help to tone down the understeer.

Cobra with a dual turbo buick GNX motor. I saw a guy who would burn 10s all day with this setup

GT 40 Gulf Stream Coupe. 427 Cobra Jet Sweet! A guy I know works on historic race cars and he has worked on this car! Not to mention that he used to own the Maclaren that Dennis Hulme won the championship in.

1989 Honda Civic, this beast can fly with the right stickers and a big spoiler

 

[Squisher]

That's funny genocide the bid is up to $51, hehehehehehe. Might need a little work though.

Lonestar 427S/C replica.

They're working on a GT-40 kit also. If you build one of these things anything other than a big block is an insult.

 

[Evadman]

Fund the S-10 baised one. Cool? Kit car on the cheep

 

[Daniel]

No doubt a 427 s/c cobra, and if I could have one of those limited ones shebly himself released last year or so I'd be in heaven, they used the original molds used to built the car back in the day, so they pretty much made a new, real 427 cobra, yummy.

Well since we are just dreaming here a 427 cobra with a SOHC 427 under the hood

Id settle for just a plain 427 though

The 427s came in OHC flavor? I thought they ran off of pushrods, but I'm no expert on the 427s...
