I'll bet it takes less than a year for Cessna, for example, to pull together the parts that it takes to build a fairly simple airplane like the 172. Tell me that this requires fewer specialized parts than a Kirkham-based Shelby and less careful assembly. Sure.

But, since jdog showed up in this thread, I'm going to get past my grousing about SAI's lousy production schedule. As I've said here before, you've got the give the Dog his due. That's one wicked cool looking black car. Wait or no wait, I'd say that jdog got what he bargained for, and in spades!

There's just something about that black that grabs me....

I couldn't agree more. I thought the wait was going to kill me, but the pay off has been more than enough, I couldn't be happier. The car is Hella Cool!

I know I was one of Shelby's biggest critics, but right now I'm one of their biggest fans.

Long live Carroll Shelby! & Shelby Automobiles!

P.S. I didn't like my time in the US Army either, but I'm better for it!

Advanced payment of over $100,000 and waited two years.
What would 100-140K earn for you (or SAI) over two years if modestly invested.
This is a good thing?

I ordered a fiberglass CSX in the middle of December (2006) and it is now ready (roughly five months from the time I ordered). I know the delivery times from Shelby have been horrific in the past. However, it seems like they are improving.

I can't wait to get her on the road.
