Let's not forget Shelby approached GM first to source a motor for his dream.
That said, I do prefer the Ford motors in the replicas.

I've heard that idiotic argument more than once from the Chevy guys. I don't care if Shelby approached Fiat, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Tesla, and Saturn, it ended up with a Ford engine in it, and if you want to build a replica, you put a Ford engine in it. If you want to build something akin to a Fiero with a trailer-trash Ferrari look-alike body kit on it, then by all means, build a Cobra with a Chebby, but don't try to play it off like it's "legal" since Shelby talked to some GM guys about an engine contract.
If you think I'm being unfair, I wouldn't dare put a Ford engine in a GM product either.

You don't even own a Cobra by your own admission, but here you are knocking other people's Cobras. How absolutely Facebook of you!
As to your last sentence, how many Cobras were made by Ford? How many replicas are made by Ford? |

I had a Cobra.....with a 428FE in it.
As far as I know, I'm allowed to voice my own opinion.
As for *your* last sentence, it is apropos nothing. |
