You can't reduce the cost of the glass shelby to that of the competitors, because the parts to build the Shelby are more expensive than the competitors. If you want original spec suspension, higher end gauges, original spec frame, it's going to cost more than to use/modify existing suspension parts from other passenger cars (either new or used) like all of the competitors, and even if they use their own design that's not original spec. It will almost always cost more to build an original spec cobra unless you go exotic.
