I know that Shelby generally is pursuing a strategy of reducing its auto sales business and focusing on parts, but it is an interesting question.
That's an excellent question, but the CSX is believed by many/most to be the "top of the line" Cobra in our segment of the industry and would probably sully their name and added premium by reducing the price of the CSX to levels of their "competitiors."
