Well everyon I am the first person to buy the South African CSX's and my vin should be CSX 4751, 4750 being Mr. Shelby's car. After driving both cars at the monterey historics I can tell you that they handled almost identically even though the shelbys have a BBF in them. Also the fiberglass job was superior on the CSX cars, you could tell by feeling the lip under the wheel wells. Steel tube frames are always stronger than square tube, and they did make improvements to a few things that customers had complained about.

The CSX cars come with a bigger FUEL CELL instead of a cheap regular gas tank and after all it is an authentic shelby and it is only about $4000 more than the SPF including comparable options. So we drove both and decided that the $4000 premium was worth it and we have had excellent treatment from SAI.

CAV makes great cars and Shelby was wrong to sue SPF. So he is attacking them in the marketplace and HE WILL START TO DOMINATE. After all, the truth everyone knows is that if all of you replica guys had the extra $25-30k to spend you would have chosen CSX. Now that they are close in price, there is know question.

I cant wait to get my car

In previous years you could get the CSX for $40K but it did not include the expensive paint job and wheels and tires and a few other pricey things making SPF the true best bang for the buck.

All that has changed now and SPF better be worried. That is just my .02. I drove both and decided to go with the shelby. Certain aspects of the CSX are just better than the SPF. The only great thing about the SPF is that you can put a cheaper to build SBF instead of the hard to build BBF. Other than that it is just about money.

Anyway I just hope to be able to enjoy my CSX with all cobra guys whether they are SPF, ERA, ...etc.
