I would concur with Rick in that the market will be less than EPA allows. As Rick said, there is the not having a V8 powered by the standard 4 barrel carb issue that will turn some people off. In addition, they are going to be price prohibitive. At about $200K for a Daytona Coupe, there are only so many people who can afford to spend that kind of money on a toy and you will be competing with a lot of other high end toys that have GPS, superior sound systems and the internet at their disposal. I have to imagine that the GT40 will be in the $200K+ range and a Cobra would probably be low to mid $100K range turnkey. Then there also is the issue that the toys are not exactly as water proof as other vehicles in the same price range....

While us old timers like the Shelby mystique, the younger generation is more into electronics for their toys. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
