I know a guy who bought a new Cobra last year and put another $10,000+ into it to make it look like a saleen. Why the heck didn't he buy a supercharged S281 and be done with it?

Factory performance packages are cool, if you're talking about a Lingefelter TT vette, or a custom Porsche from Roush.

My NISMO parts seem top quality so far; but it would be nice to be able to get them from someone other than an overseas dealer, and to have a warranty on them. Don't see that happening though, as it is apparent that they are used for racing applications.

I also like finding/using parts that nobody else has, or has even heard of. So I'd have to say that both options have their benefits (reliability vs originality).
