The point I was trying to make was that I got no response at all. If the car is so good and that much better, then it should be easy to compare and contrast. No problem. But as I said, the answer was "its a shelby" and I don't really think I'm getting that much more now other than a bunch of suggestions that I couldn't afford the car. I wanted to simply compare every option and every difference. Sure the cars are different. But I wanted a quantification of the differences and a justification for the increase in price. If that had been done I would have bought one. I also looked into a Kirkham. Then I found out Shelby buys his cars from Kirkham and adds a premium on for his name. Justify that! I'm sure the answer is going to be that the Shelby is an investment. I'm not so sure and anyway I wanted a car I could use every day if I wanted to and not an investment that I would look at and never use. So I guess it just comes down to what you want out of the car and how much money you have to blow. Bottom line is these cars are toys for most of us and I wanted the best usable toy. Not a collectors item or an investment. The collectors items were built back in the '60s and are not made anymore. These cars are all replicas. Like it or not.
