Had a look at the SAAC forum thread, while I dont think anyone who has studied the evolution of the Cobra & more particularly the Coupe is likely to have the wool pulled over their eyes, unfortunately its those younger readers who may take it as Gospel since it was in 'that' magazine that will cause You & I endless aggravation in the future when we try to refute their story!
Fortunately I have a copy of the Coupe book with the drawings/sketches of the 'Ring' spoiler that was advocated even prior to the completion of the first car. That fact alone shoots enough holes in this latest tale of fantasy to make sure it wont float!
