Yenko Clone appreciation...or not?

[kwhizz]

Boy......This is a real touchy subject...First off you have to understand that most of the guy's here are on this site to preserve and protect the Pedigree of the Historic cars that were built in a short period of time in automotive history......
With that said.........theres only so many of those cars around and they are mostly out of the average guy's price range.....so.....what to do.....the average guy has a couple of options......
#1..Scrimp and save never getting to the point of accumulating enough cash to get the car of your dreams (like pushing a string) and if you are fortunate enough to acquire one....would you actually drive it.....as it's now a investment and is a piece of Automotive History.....
#2..."Build" a replica of what you really want.....But....knowing full well that there are going to be people that are going to look down on your car as many steps below their car because it's not real......(even though you enjoy and drive your car)......So......If you want to keep pushing the string and never get there, or build a "Clone" and enjoy the car of your dreams, it's a pretty simple choice as far as I'm concerned......But......the price of enjoying your "Clone" is not to concern yourself with the "Attitude" you're going to get from the Car Show "Police".....Enjoy It..
Just my $.02

Even if you bring out a real supercar to a car show somebody will have something to say that will rub you wrong. Heck I remember years ago going to a car show sponsored by GM and I walked past a blue 69 RS Camaro a couple of times thinking somebody brought out Grandma's car and put a cowl induction hood on it. Later in the morning some people came by and opened the hood. It was a super low mileage all original Rally Sport ZL1, my new favorite car. Just build the car and enjoy it knowing that you can not please all the people all the time but if you enjoy the car so what.
