Not really sure that everything still seems in relative proportion...
A 64 Vette and a 64 Cobra were probably not too far apart technically at the time... The Cobra has basically remained the same while the Corvette has evolved to meet government requirements(air bags, pollution control, crash tests, fuel economy,seat belts, etc.) The Cobras have managed to avoid about $12K worth of add ons required on every other car being manufactured. ( I just made up the $12K figure, it sounded good at the time)

Anyone have any thoughts about what will happen if SAI goes under....Will prices go up on built cars or go the opposite direction?
