I think we all know what the car is. So do the buyers. Its a redone Mustang. Totally restored and dressed out.

I happen to like the car. I think its cool. You may not like the car. Its subjective.

But obviously the guys who are shelling out 160 thousand clams for one must like it.

I happen to think its priced way too high for what it is. But thats my opinion and time may prove me wrong.

Would I like one. You bet! They are neat.

Do they belong in the registry. Well, maybe they have a place in the registry as a Shelby product or custom. Obviously SAAC accepted it. They don't have a problem with it so why should you? It doesn't dilute for one second what you have or I have or others have.

Why call CS insulting names. In case you haven't noticed many celebreties look to profit off their name. We do live in a capitalistic society. I think its absolutely ludicrious why personal attacks are launched at CS because the GT500E has been accepted to the Registry and are selling now for big bucks. What did he do wrong or to those that have again cast aspersions his direction?

The car is not being misrepresented. It has been individualized with an additional series of vin #'s setting it apart as a speicialized vehicle. If you don't like it. Don't buy it. If you think its overpriced, don't buy it.

Turk very astutely pointed out the lengthy thread regarding Cobra snobs. I think alot of guys just identified themselves as Cobra snobs.

In the end anything is worth what others will pay for it. Right know it looks like the GT500Es are worth anywhere from $160K to $190K.
