Yeah but Shelby didn't destroy a limited production 30 year old car to build
each Cobra. He helped keep Bristol producing Ace's. I don't think any of us
would mind if somebody took a 1999 Nissan Whatever and loaded it with a 426
hemi!
But if some one is dead set on putting a V8 in a roadster, at least use the
Infinity.

My 2 cents, ... and worth less!

Yeah you're right. Probably the worst of these types was that Shelby
guy. Imagine sticking a V8 into an AC Ace of all cars! And then to want
to put a big block Ford in there to boot. Well as you say...:-)
