John and others,

You wanted to know who else has a CSX car...I am one who does.

I ordered my car in January of 2000, received it in May, and had it on the road in August. I bought a roller for about $52k (it had a few options) and you may call it a kit if you want but I don't.

I wish people in this forum wouldn't be so confrontational. We are all in this hobby / sport for the same purpose I hope.

I chose the CSX-4000 car over the other kits because of the Shelby name and look and feel of the car. The CSX-4000 looks remarkably similar to the CSX-3000, even down to the small details. I know this because of all the research I did while building my car. I also like having an MSO that says Shelby American and is signed by the man himself, a title and registration that says 1965 Shelby Cobra, and a dash plaque that has his signature and a CSX serial number. I am also convinced that this car will appreciate in value and I am equally convinced that many kits (the majority of them) sell for MUCH less than the original owner invested in them.

We all made choices about what car to buy and/or build and this is the one I like. It is not any better or worse than any of the other cars represented in this forum or sport. I have visited this forum many times a week for the last year and I didn’t once think that people who don’t have a real SAI car are less intelligent, less important, or are having less fun. Buying and building this car was just my choice of how to spend my money.

Scott…
