Not duplicate it because that cannot be done. You can’t go back in time. But you can pay tribute to the original concept and that’s certainly better than ignoring it or forgetting it. The original GT350s were terrific cars that have become icons over the years for many reasons. Do we really want to knock them off the pedestal we’ve spent 35 years creating and putting them up on?"
Of course, Amy from SAI still posts over at the SAAC Forum. I'm very happy that someone is keeping the Shelby name alive, including us here with our Cobras, but I still think the new GT350 could have better and more imaginative. Of course, I can't criticize since I haven't created any machinery in my life nor could I build my model cars correctly. I always have leftover parts and bad paint jobs.

Keep drinking the Kool-aid.
So even if you think the car is a bloated pig, you should refrain from making snide comments? Ok, I will refrain from making any snide comments.
