Warren,
Now that is the funniest rear end I have ever seen on a Cobra. I saw a new 2006 Corvette here yesterday and looked at it. Very nice and the inside seemed to be well done.
Yes, I was astonished at the 3,900 pounds for the Shelby Mustang. I had heard they would be heavy, but that is ridiculous. Throw away the iron block and use an aluminum one. Also get rid of the idea that any so called sports car Ford builds has to seat at least 4 people. And for the prices they are asking I will just pass. If they do build the 7,100 a year like they say, in a couple of years you can buy on for a lot less than $20/$30K above MSRP. I even saw a post that they are actioning off the first chance to buy one of them at some Ford dealers and at that point I think they said the auction was already $20K above MSR.
