They certainly didn't help SAI win the World Manufacturers Title, they certainly didn't help develope the Daytona Coupe Cobra...

From Lee Holman
"Mr., Shelby seems also to have forgotten that it was Alan Mann Racing that raced the Cobra Coupes in Europe in 1965 with myself as part of the team that year, and that it was the performance of Alan Mann Racing that won the championship for the Ford Cobras that year."
I believe Pete Brock's book The Daytona Coupe agrees with Lee. Pete has told me that CS was working on the GT40 and did not have time to work on the Cobras. Hence Alan Mann ran the Cobras in 1965.
