Amy, on 'Endorsement' I'm talking strictly about an Superformance, which I ASSUME is what was tested for the magazine. What Shelby builds in Vegas or wherever is a 'genuine' Shelby product, not just an endorsed product.

Now just what IS Shelby building in Vegas? I understood that to be a car from the PARENT company of SPF, "High Tech" built to Shelby's specs, finished in various degrees by him or his affiliated companies. In other words I don't THINK Shelby deals directly with Superformance itself other than from an endorsement/marketing approach. I would not consider a "High Tech" built Cobra to be the same as an "SPF" Cobra, but at some point the lines (as in assembly) could get blurred?

I have seen you make reference to SPF, in other posts at various points in time, in such a way as to 'link' Shelby closer to SPF than is actually the case. It's possible I'm mistaken, but it would be a good idea from YOUR office to clairify the difference between High Tech as a supplier and SPF as a supplier. It's subtle, but an important distinction. I for one would hate to think Shelby is simply building an SPF with a Shelby name. Pretty sure that is NOT the case!

There is a substantial difference in the 'specs' for an SPF vs a Shelby, for instance.
