Just an original based on the signature on a contract... I'd almost classify them as a "contiuation" execpt they're not since Peter has a hand in redesigning some aspects of it. I think SPF SHOULD reconsider calling it a "Brock Coupe" ; I think any owner should too. If Peter has no problem in that (could be why SPF isn't using it?) then saying "this is an original Brock Coupe" is a dead-on accurate statement.

Peter has no problem with the term "Brock Coupe." Superformance had to pay a bunch of money to CS to settle the lawsuit. They now refer to it as a Shelby Daytona Coupe I believe in part due to the terms of the settlement and in part due to the marketability of the Shelby name. The fact that these cars are now included in the Shelby registry adds value to the car, no matter what your personal opinions may be. Keep in mind that my statements are my opinion based on what I know and not meant to be a statement of fact. I don't want to get sued!
