Spoke with Lance at Shelby Distribution for a bit today , - this 9000 series Coupe has been 4 years in the making and the first 2 unit went to a good customer. (who has been waiting over a year)

There is a 3rd 9xxx that is in port (in long beach) and they are trying to get it released so they can truck it up to Monterey , but that looks very doubtful based on timing.

In short; So this MKII coupe is everything they thought up after building the first generation.

The CSX9000 concept came up after someone was able to obtain a CSX number for their coupe (not sure which #) , and then other people wanted CSX numbers on their coupes,-- and so on.

This MKII coupe has been in the percolator for a while, -- there were just so many things I was (personally) uncomfortable with in the MKI coupe. I am excited to see that the MKII is here (basically)

Just like any technology, you learn so much after you ship the thing. --

Lance also was dancing in the streets about the Corvette Grand-Sport project, and with GMs support for that , the Replica Car business will be booming in 2010 and beyond.

Looking forward to seeing the CSX 9000 --
