Bluerooster,
I agree with you. I stand corrected and apologize if I have offendended the aluminium bodied boys (all but one anyway). But Wayne's statement,

"FFR & Shelby together? Don't hold your breath. A Shelby is what Shelby designed and is under Shelby control, not what looks like something Shelby designed designed by someone else. A factual statement, not ment to be an afront to the proponents of either."

Kinda hacks me off, and I do find it an affront. It represents the exact arrogance that anyone who looks down their noses at replicas and says under their breath, "it's just fake crap" as one of my Corvette cohorts said the other day. Now here's Wayne who comes along and implies his is what Shelby designed, and and the FF is "what looks like something Shelby designed designed by someone else." Give me a break folks, we like replicas, wouldn't have the original even if we could afford one, and why say one is "more original" than the other? Heck, all these cars are bastardized reproductions to begin with. I don't care! I love them, and I won't apologize to my Corvette or Porsche friends for being "fake crap," as anyone who's perpared to lay down 30k to 110k for this shouldn't have to authenticate his decision or endure the arrogance in that statement.

And I believe Alan meant me, instead of Bill in his response. And to him, you are correct, bashing is the real crap, and I shouldn't have implied that SPF is better than the aluminum. Sorry.
