Evan,

I appreciate your candor and zeal. I would venture to say that if pressed, most of the members agree with you. I for one know that Shelby's CSX2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, & 7xxx are "REAL" shelby cobras and that only the 2xxx & 3xxx's were "Original". It isn't that complicated to my simple mind.

We all fight love to give you a hard time about the trivial subtlities of the english language and our unique bias', but at the end of the day, I would bet that if we could, most, (but not all) would prefer a CSX s/n on our car (whatever the last 4 digits are). (although I personaly would have an internal debate about getting a Kirkham over the SAI, strictly due to their being such a class act and the wonderful qualityof their cars).

Having said that, the baggage that has built up over the years is unfortunate and I think most of us could agree that CS (and others) have at least had a hand at fanning the flames. I still don't take anything away from him or his team.

These debates must get a bit old to you, but you defend your position well.

Regards,

Keith

Anthony,

Well said, and very informative! I did not know the connection between Hi-Tech, and SAI. You are now my favorite CSX owner, and Evan is second... (just kidding Evan)

I would guess SAI does in fact offer the fiberglass body to allow those who wish to buy a SAI car at a more reasonable price, and some people may in fact desire a fiberglass body over the metal (sacrilege, I know). This is as most manufacturers do, provide a product that customers want to buy.

I guess thats why Superformance has the pedals supported from the top (along with other differances from the originals). Makes more sense to some people, and customers buy it from them!
