Ah... I don't really feel the need to "pick a side". And I think it's awfully presumptuous for SAAC to say that because I am a member, that I have a dog in this fight (or whatever the phrase was). Automatically placing me on any side just because I am a member presumes that I agree with everything that group stands for which is just plain silly.

I don't believe that the market will become flooded with fake cars (passing themselves off as originals) if the registry is turned over to Shelby (personally, I hope the registry stays with SAAC - they built it). There are probably more GTO's, Chevelle SS, 442's, etc. on the road now than were ever manufactured and the prices of the "real" cars continue to go up regardless... In fact, I think that is what pushes most of us to create clones - the originals become too valuable and we can't afford them or they are just too expensive to actually put on the road. Will there be an opportunity for fraud? yep, but that also exists now... how many times has such a thing been mentioned on these forums regarding eBay?

Doesn't the concept of 'buyer beware' mean anything?

The arguments I'm hearing are like those of the NRA - if they take away my armour piercing bullets today, tomorrow they will get my handgun.

Let the courts settle it out.

Just my 2 cents...
