The question of the value of Cobras after Carrolls passing is a legitimate question within the frame work of a "Lifetime Achievment Award", thus applicable to this thread.

The legacy he will leave behind is also applicable concerning this subject matter. He deserves the award and has earned the truth(s) that comes with it, good and bad.

Truth is, Shelby didn't just wake up one day and decide to crush his biggest fan base ever (SAAC). It's a "Lifeltime Achievment" pattern of the way he has done business for his entire career. Should we hide that part of his legacy? History will be kind to Shelbys legacy, but like any celebrity before him, it will also record the dark times, as it should.

While I admire the career of John De Lorean and his many and varied accomplishments, his legacy will be forever linked to a cocaine drug deal gone bad. A stainless steel sports car with 'snow tires'.
