And.. in fact, Shelby has shared quite a bit of info with the current Cobra buyers via the Shelby owner's site in the last two days. I highly recommend you sign up and check in. I don't feel like I should be the one to post it- but there is a LOT of info there that addresses the rumors and where things stand. Hopefully more info will be publicly available shortly. I for one am very satisfied
Short of that, Ernie's advice about picking up the phone is also a very good idea. I think you can get the answers you need either way.
