Actually look at the F1 production. What took them 1000's of hours to do back then can be done in a few hours now. Production of composites has come a long way. I think they originally were going to make a few hundred F1's and about 64 were produced with 36 racers. so a little over 105 or 106 in total. It is still one of my all time favorite automobiles. You should research how those have gone up in price.

Still sitting on the fence to tell you the truth on the P1. Probably one of the best cars I have driven very safe with traction control and brake steering and all that good stuff. I think it will probably save a few people that normally could be over their heads with speed. I mean with the F1 if you were at the edge you knew it but with this one amazing technology and how it is applied.

Not sure about the production either I based it on 1 complete P1 built per day so I didn't take into account weekends and I'm sure some dealers put in orders just to hold onto for that premium you know. As I understand all the cars have been ordered since last year and a wait list is in effect. I really had to think long and hard about that order..still thinking about it.

OR,
Do u think Shelby Cobra continuation cars are a good investment or bad, are they worth $160K++ roller tag?

If u were the CEO of Shelby America Inc., how would u market the Cobra to the X and Y generation car guy?

Whoa. Cars are a good investment? With very few exceptions, NO.

You keep asking the value question and that's a supply/demand issue.

However, Evan has suggested that the sales prices of aluminum CSX4000's are $200,000-$250,000 and I just haven't seen anything recently that is remotely close to that level and published in Keith Martin's Sports Car Market auction magazine. But, maybe he can enlighten us with some actual published sales prices. I call BS, until I see actual sales results. No hyperbole, hearsay and conjecture.
