Lots of great points made in this thread and I probably missed some of the best ones as I skipped from page nine to here. As a kid and car enthuasist, I lusted for a Cobra, but never got close, Also wanted a Pantera. Had a 427 65 Ford Galaxie and a 71 Maverick with a 427 in it--who do I owe a royalty fee for that one? The Cobra is a great car, but just an adult go cart. According to the logic of CS and his lawyers, anyone who does an engine swap on any vehicle should be paying a royalty fee to someone, the first guy to drop a flat head V-8 into a old jalopy. Maybe I should try to claim the naming rights to that first hot rod and file suit against everyone who has ever built a fun car to own and drive. all the CS BS takes a lot of the fun out of the auto enthuasist play ground. I think it was Redspirit who pointed out the obvious, that Carrol did not design the AC cars, he did not design the Ford built engines and transmissions. He just told someone to drop a 427 into an English built car. Now anyone who does the same owes him money? Not meant to offend, just MHO
