Is There Value in Making a 'Clone'.

I
5. Really the only difference between a decent "clone" & a "true" formula S
( for example) is that Chrysler assembled one and YOU assembled the other with the exact same parts that Chrysler used...frankly aside from the little tin tag, I don’t see any difference.... Parts is Parts, Chrysler does not have any magic dust they sprinkle that makes their formula S superior in any PHYSICAL way. It simply means they identified that particular Barracuda SHELL, the exact same SHELL used for every Barracuda made, to have a 4bbl V8 with a lil stiffer suspension as it went down the line so the humans( like you) that were building it knew what parts to put in/on it, that’s it...if you used all the same parts, you are driving a FORMULA S, not a clone made by a different company, a Barracuda assembled by you to Formula S specs is a formula S Barracuda. Take off those little tin tags and I defy anyone to be able to tell the difference!


I understand what you are saying here….. But you are wrong with this one.

That little tag adds value.

Take 2 identical cars. One a clone, one real…. The real one is worth more.
