20 in rims, not digging that.
It will probably be priced near the Z06's price, dunno about that either.

I still prefer the original ones. My step daughter keeps saying she is going to get one and I keep telling her to be patient as her and her husband will have one worth a lot more some day.
I didn't make a judgment on which one was better, I merely said that I prefer the old ones. I am quite aware of the capability of newer muscle car as I have modified quite a few. Why do you think my 66 Fastback is a not a restoration as it has EFI and 5 speed and many other modern features.
If you want to really talk about COBRAS then the original 1967 AC Cobra with the 427 is still hard to beat with a new car performance car. I don't know many cars that can go 0-100-0 in 13 seconds.
Cheapest car I am aware of is the Caterham R500 Evo which does 0-100-0 in 10.7s. Then comes the Ariel and the Ultima GTR which is the current record holder at 9.4 seconds. For reference, the mighty Veyron does it in 9.9s.
So 0-100mph, the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S (my all-time favorite car) would be on par with the Veyron? Sick!

I'm surprised no one has complained about the links being the same...and not linking to the pictures.

The site must not allow direct linking to photos. For example, this won't work but this will. Both point to the same picture. Once the photo is in your cache both links work fine.

you are a lucky man
edit: why didnt you pull the trigger on a shelbygt500 when they debuted, then? i know the stealership markup was insane.. but wont this suffer just as much, if not worse?
