I'm not positive but I think the fundamental issue(s) have to do with FFR and related web site(s) improper use of the "name" Cobra. That could also include other "names" as well, like "427" or "Coupe" or any number of variations of "Shelby Lingo" (FIA, etc. etc.). In effect using the name(s) to promote their product, as it were, with a wink and a nod toward the web site(s) in question. Something about claiming the same people that own/run FFR are in fact "owners/operators" of these web sites. At least that is the argument being presented as I understand it.
It may also involve the "shape" of the Coupe, same song and dance we saw with the "shape" of the Cobra in that regard.
Shelby thinks he has a claim and a right to just about ANYTHING that even remotely related to SAI in some way, that's a given. Nothing's changed there. He certainly has the money to pursue it. IF he is successful he could potentially "corner the market", perhaps there is enough money at stake to take a shot at it? After all, he eventually wore down SPF who caved in to his demands, so while he "lost", he might have still "won" in that sense!
I don't buy into SPF's clever marketing ploy for a second with their talk about "Shelby deserves a piece of the action." BS, they puckered up and planted one right where Shelby wanted them to.
EDIT: Found a link to the actual court filed suit.
