This was a strange lawsuit from the very beginning since, as part of a multi-million dollar legal battle waged in 2000 over the word COBRA and the shapes of the FFR designs, we had previously reached an agreement in 2002 whereby Shelby "forever dismissed with prejudice" all claims relative to the trade dress of FFR kits (including specifically, but not limited to the Type 65 Coupe!!!).
Ain't that beautiful. The legal system at it's finest, creating jobs for the unemployed lawyers. Keep our economy growing.

The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
