How in the heck can you expect a round tube ladder frame (50+ year old relic) to appear on the new Cobra?

I'm sure that Richard Hudjins could give us the techinal details, but how could you get that kind of chassis technology through all the government safety and crash testing standards?

The new Cobra is just that. A new car. It's not an update of a 1965 Cobra. It happens to look like crap, but Ford could fix the styling. They just need to spend more than 30 minutes on it!

Ford is not going to sell a car sans body. How would they get around those government standards that preclude Shelby, Superformance, ERA, etc from selling cars with drivetrains in them?

P.S.:

Ford did a better job on the retro styling cues on the 2005 Mustang.
