I've heard that idiotic argument more than once from the Chevy guys. I don't care if Shelby approached Fiat, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Tesla, and Saturn, it ended up with a Ford engine in it, and if you want to build a replica, you put a Ford engine in it. If you want to build something akin to a Fiero with a trailer-trash Ferrari look-alike body kit on it, then by all means, build a Cobra with a Chebby, but don't try to play it off like it's "legal" since Shelby talked to some GM guys about an engine contract.
If you think I'm being unfair, I wouldn't dare put a Ford engine in a GM product either.
