CSX rollers starting at $160K for a 60 year old car design?... must have been plenty of hugs and kisses at the showroom.

Well the good thing about college is that you get a rounded exposure to lots of things including hippy professors teaching Philosophy elective courses. Having been married in the past, I know exactly what you mean by the type of criminal described by your professor.
Interestingly I was looking at an article recently that had this information in it:
2013 Acura ILX
Base price: $25,900
Fully loaded price: $34,400
2012 Honda Civic sedan
Base price: $15,955
Fully loaded price: $26,900
The ILX and Civic are built on the same platform, so essentially they are the same car with different features for prices between $15,955 and $34,400. The top end of the line is more than double the price of the bottom end. It looks like Shelby is just following the rest of the industry as far as pricing goes.
