The same could be said for the Cobra, since both the 3000 race cars and the 427 coupe project were cut short on development when Ford told Shelby to drop the Cobra and make the GT40 win Lemans.

And while there may have been a ClubCheetah, I bet the Cheetah would not have a fraction of the fanbase the Cobra has for over 40 years. The car is just too crude for the average enthusiast, and while some like the looks, I would bet that's a very low percentage of the general population.
