Maybe I'm reading more into this than I should, although when you are contemplating spending big $$$$$ these thoughts do go through your mind after reading everything that has been said. Don't get me wrong, I love CC, but maybe thats one of the problems with hanging out on this site.....you read way too much sh!it that you begin to wonder what is real and what is not real......what is truth and what is bullsh!t. I think this adds up to very bad PR for Shelby.
I guess I'm just not the kind of buyer who will rush out and stroke a check to just any manufacturer without knowing all of the details.
This whole Shelby press, good or bad, mumbo-jumbo bothers the sh!it out of me.
Just the opinion of a very, very serious cobra buyer who values his money and likes to make a wise purchase.
Thanks for listening

I know how you feel. I joined here only after buying my Cobra, and was pretty bummed out after a month or two. The stuff you learn here only slightly outweighs the negative BS, from surprisingly viscious people, for something that is supposed to be FUN, and a hobby.
Fortunately, 99.999% of the world has never heard of CC, and to those people, there will always be only one manufacturer of a Shelby 427 Cobra. Shelby. That is why those people will pay $145,000 for a Shelby and $30,000 for a very nice Contemporary in a side by side comparison situation at Barrett- Jackson.
Fire away bashers. I have learned to not care.
