Well, it looks like a licensing issue to me. No question there is an advantage in being able to use the 'Cobra' name, but that doesn't change the cars whether they be from Kirkham, Superformance, or Factory Five. You still have to do the engineering and it isn't like these other companies are idiots and Shelby is actually doing any work.

Ernie's comment about Shelby's involvement meaning a quality car almost caused me to shop for Depends - just two words: Series One.

(Not that I am taking anything from CAV. I don't know anything about them - and I do know that manufacturing a car isn't that big of a deal for a quality machine shop.)
