Default Re: 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro

This whole subject of new Yenkos is really a sensitive subject to a lot of people. Mr. Clary's comparism to Grumpy cars is without merit though because no one is building a fleet of "Grumpy" cars for sale. I DID think that the Indian motorcycle comparism earlier was interesting though. Now that was a company that didn't even exist anymore that was resurrected and the final product looked worthy of the Indian name. Does anybody remember public opinion when that was announced? I think it was excitement by motorcycle enthusiasts and very little negative. This has been done before, and really not very long ago, with Matt Murphy and his fleet of Dick Harrell 2002 Camaros and before that it was his ZL-1's. I thought those were well recieved. On on the other hand, I think we've all heard of Mr. Shelby's disdain and legal action against "Cobra" kit cars. If it was up to him, the only Cobras that would exist would be the ones that he manufactured. Heck, I'm sure that kit car Cobras VASTLY outnumber the real thing. It is a free country so people are allowed to build, buy, and drive whatever they want. If anybody doesn't like it, I guess they don't have to buy it or even acknowledge it at a car show. That's all from my end.
