I'm sure they've 'worked the numbers' and pissing off a few enthusiasts is OK when you stand to gain so many more 'newbies' along the way. It was mentioned on another site that the 'package' you recieve when joining Team Shelby is not yet complete, guess that means Ford logos instead of Shelby logos for now, whatever...

I suspect Team Shelby will thrive, prosper and grow MUCH bigger than SAAC could have ever hoped for, I think it's gonna be HUGE, thats reality as I see it. SAAC will diminish along the way and with time. And there aint nothing we can do about it in the long run.

What made this a 'water shed' event for me personally, and has soured me BIG TIME on Shelby, was the way they treated SAAC along the way. There was no call for that, even Amy B. was unaware of the dastardly deeds taking place behind her back. For the time being I'm referring to MY ERA as an AC replica, at least for now I really want to remove myself from being associated with Shelby.

You are exactly right Ernie! And that is because the club is geared toward the mustang crowd... in particular, the newer mustangs. If you want the proof... just look a the mag! Of the 164 pages, I think I counted 56 pages that did not have a NEW style shelby on them. That's less than 1/3!
