I know it's not a secret. Building a Cobra is not secret, but it takes time and money to properly build and sort it. And rollers don't come perfect "right out of the box."

The FE alone is $20,000-$30,000. The transaxle and bell housing are roughly $10,000. Plus any miscellaneous parts to complete plus dealer labor plus dealer profit.

And no cheaping out on a $170,000 SPF GT40 roller. And will a Shelby dealer do it for $50,000-$60,000. I sincerely doubt it. Not done right and sorted.
