Hey Rodney, them what ifs are working pretty good Huh?
Anthony, I used to live three miles from Hi-Tech in Tempe, Az. I was down there buggin" those guys all the time. 
I do know who owns the tooling from Hi-Tech and it ain't anywhere near Shelby or Vegas.
On the cost factor of parts used are better than most other manufacturers does not hold water. There are limited suppliers for many items so you have all the manufacturers buying many parts from the same company. One big example is frames and glass, brake lights, and a lot of other small items. Besides if Shelby payed twice as much for those items it wouldn't come close to an extra 10K. As far as A arms and suspension goes
there are many that do use OEM stuff but more make their own and most of those are steel. I believe the CNC A arms are an option. I don't know what they cost.
Now if you are saying that Shelby uses the best of the best and newest in technology and the finest in materials and labor then you might have something... but I don't believe that to be the case with Cobras. At least not in the labor aspect.
