Ah, but the pricing will not be equal, so you might as well ask whether people would prefer an original or a replica if the prices were equal.

According to my (unnamed) sources, Ford is not going to be able to hit the $100K target price for the new car, and it's now in the "supercar" class with expected production of about 100 cars a year instead of the couple of thousand they were originally shooting for. Expect the price to be more in the $200K range...

I admit I had to stop and think for awhile when Ford showed the new car -- maybe I should get one of those instead of a replica -- but when I heard the news about the numbers, it made my decision pretty easy.
