Shelby CSX price increase!

[Dimis]

I'm going to get flamed for this, but here goes anyway...

In my humble opinion & in all seriousness, I'd rather own a Kirkham (if alloy) or ERA (if glass) ahead of a "Shelby" Cobra any day of the week. This on principle alone.

I respect and credit Carroll Shelby for the foresight, and ingenuity of developing the concept at the time, but hat was over 50yrs ago... and in my humble opinion there are others who have developed and are doing it better than Shelby (and for less) at the moment.

I'm not saying that the CSX4 or 6 series are bad, I'd love one, given the chance. But I'd never pay as much for one. In my eyes they are worth less than the aforementioned. I'd opt for the others if it were my money.

Am I missing something?
Original isn't always best
Neither is the most expensive...
Why pay more for less?


When it comes time to put my money down I'll be looking at buying an "Original Kirkham" ...and hey, this being the 21st Century, I might even put a modern 427 engine in it... Like say an LS7, or a modular ford


Flame suit on!!

Best regards to all.

Kirkham and ERA owners all agree with that statement. Most of us, had we wanted a new CSX car, would have bought one.

No flames here.

I pay for quality, not a name.

I rode Harleys all my life...even before I was cool. I notice now that everyone compairs their bikes to Harleys, they all try to look like a Harley, sound like a Harley, dress like Harley ridders and then tell everyone why they did not buy a Harley???
