Did you catch the new Shelby magazine.
Man, I did and it is really a nice mag. All colored pictures. Very slick....
But I gotta ask one question... who the hell is the editor.
You gotta laugh at this picture.
Amy, what have you got to say for yourself.  
GinUWhine.... lets see dual roll bars, perkey butt, dropped down gas tank,
Could it be....Say it ain't so !!!!!
Wonder if they will have a magazine recall.

Zoom in Al; I'm pretty sure that is the numeral "5" on the steering wheel center.
Hmmm...?

Don't forget the absolutely butt ugly exterior trunk hinges.
I guess it all depends upon Carroll's definition of "genuine". If it ain't genuine, sue the ba$tard$.

The editor is probably some young guy just into Shelby Mustangs. Sort of like when you see an online poll for the best running back of all time and you don't see Red Grange or Jimmy Brown even mentioned because the average voter is 12 years old.
Maybe they should use Evan as their expert proofreader on real Cobras.

Doh!
Oh my gosh, that's funny!
well... in fact, maybe it's true - it is nothing like a genuine Cobra.

At least Team Shelby has a yearly magazine included with the membership.
No magazine from SAAC this year.
What did I get for my $50 from SAAC in 2008?

Maybe had benefit for the collectors of the Cobras and Shelby Mustangs from the 60's to keep their values high. |

How much is Cobra related and how much has to do with the current Mustangs crop?

All joking aside.. it is a great mag.. It does have a lot of the new Mustang stuff, but some GT350 stories, a big SuperSnake story and just a bunch of shiney pictures.. its worth the 7 bucks.

Just because you live in Canada does not excuse you from being called a pompous a*ss when you act like one (as you have been all over the web lately). Reel in your bad attitude and come back down to the reality plane with the rest of us.

There; fixed it for you.
BTW, I bought the mag and it is a very slick piece with lots of great pics, though it is quite the Carroll leg humpfest.

Big Whoop! It's a great mag. for the bathroom reading basket. It will help educate those sitting on the pot about some of the Shelby history and operations.
As for the picture of the geniune Cobra, it is a genuine FFR Cobra..but is it real?...duh..Yes.
It's well worth the cost of the book and it has great pictures.

Well....technically, there are no "REAL" FFR "Cobras". There are REAL FFR replicas of Cobras.
TEAM Shelby makes clear their stance on this (an always favorite subject here). There stance is the same as SAAC's
Likely the pic of the FFR on the cover was an editorial oversight.
Thanks.
I'm sure this helps.
Flame on!
