They may raise their margin but will dramatically reduce their volume but maybe they are satisfied with a lower volume. I was considering a CSX4000 fiberglass car until I priced it out. Base roller price wasn't too bad but once you add the items they now made options (use to be standard) they skyrocket. Then they raised the price also but clearly Shelby is more interested in the new Mustang Shelbys then the Cobra. Being in the auto industry I can understand price increases but 22% is a bit overboard. Wish I had my FIA Kirkham back now as the used ones will start creaping up also, so good for the original owners......
