I doubt that I ever build a replica and I admit I don't know much about the different cars and their performance, but Im just curious how good is the quaility and performance of a well built replica. I've been to some sites where it shows them building a replica chassis and using Corvette engine and brake parts, so I assume thats good quailty and performance. However, I read that most builders probably use a mild steel to build the frame where the factory uses special alloys-so is this good enough? Also what about the kit bodys and interiors-do the doors fit tight and are they weatherproof? Overall are the kits good quailty? My point is if I put that much work and money into a project I would expect it to equal or exceed the quailty and performance of a Corvette. Will it ? As far as I know that may not be that great of quailty, I just assume the Corvettes are good. I toured the factory once and it looked great to me. Just curious. |
