Lightbulb and more!

The discussion on the suspension differences between the SAI/CAV cars, and the SPF cars was my earlier point.

The SPF car is clearly not a Shelby Cobra. It was not designed to be so, but rather a body that was more "shapely", and a suspension that was improved as good as they can make it, for the wheelbase and width. Clearly not like the originals. I feel people know this when they buy a SPF car, and that is one case of selling on differences.

The SAI cars are very close to the originals, and they go to great effort to build the cars that way. For the guy that wants to say, "I own a Shelby Cobra", and have that look, I suspect would buy either the LV or CAV version based on dollars.

Lots of guys I see at car shows have gone to great lengths to make their "non-Shelby" car "look" original. These guys would be good customers for SAI I suspect.

But as Dan Semko said, "BOTH SPF and CSX cars and they are like comparing emeralds to rubies".
