Can't say for sure but it certainly seems logical and reasonable to conclude this.

I already have one. I'm saving for another FGT but they keep going up in price.  but its not all bad since I have one.  |
I'm staying away from the "other" discussion, since that is a red herring.
As for Shelby pricing, as you know, the roller pricing of any manufacturer will likely affect the pricing of all the other manufacturers. The Kirkham's were planning an increase too and, IIRC, Superformance has recently increased their roller price as well. The laws of economics control the free markets. I personally think Shelby has reached the point where their market is maybe a few small select "drunken sailors."
No really, I think the market is very thin at that level, if there even is one. Plus, you have to wait more than a year to get it?
And there are several alloy CSX4000's running around on the market for way less than $200K like these two examples
ASKING about $170,000-$175,000:
Shelby Cobra For Sale - duPont REGISTRY
I'm a subscriber to Keith Martin's Sports Car Market magazine, which reports auction prices from around the world for all sorts of marques. And I can't remember too many alloy CSX's trading above $150K. I just got my new issue, so maybe they'll have one or two in it this issue and I'll get back to this thread with that info.
