Cobra Country looks like a sale board for Superformance

I'm wondering if they feel they should bail before the market gets diluted.

SPF typ produces around 150 cars a year and now can ramp up to 325 cars turn-key. No need for rollers.
I'm sure the other manufacturers are going to sell more as well.

I think you will find the market for the "turn-key" EPA certified cars to be well less an 325. Most want some sort of "old tech" V8 with a carb atop the manifold. The certifed "Coyote" car market will be there, but not at that level. The advantage to the certified cars will ease of registration and more available financing options (walk into a bank and ask for a loan for a "roller" on a chassis that does not have a WMI VIN and watch the banker's face!) as well the ability for a dealer to possibly "floor plan" the car for inventory.

It will be a new market, but not a gold rush as some have predicted.

I would concur with Rick in that the market will be less than EPA allows. As Rick said, there is the not having a V8 powered by the standard 4 barrel carb issue that will turn some people off. In addition, they are going to be price prohibitive. At about $200K for a Daytona Coupe, there are only so many people who can afford to spend that kind of money on a toy and you will be competing with a lot of other high end toys that have GPS, superior sound systems and the internet at their disposal. I have to imagine that the GT40 will be in the $200K+ range and a Cobra would probably be low to mid $100K range turnkey. Then there also is the issue that the toys are not exactly as water proof as other vehicles in the same price range....

While us old timers like the Shelby mystique, the younger generation is more into electronics for their toys. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
