Captain: one word- delusional.
As to the rest of the CSX bashers. Very simply, all I knew about the CAV relationship with SAI is from this thread and the CAV website.
Its clear many are hoping to see a drop in Shelby Cobra values and looking for anyway to knock the marque. The remarks about owners of CSX being pigeons is offensive. Clearly those who have envy in their heart or sour grapes think that the relationship with CAV represents blood in the water and are ready again to jump into another feeding frenzy reminescent of those of a year or so ago.
Enjoy.
It is very common for manufactures to look to reduce the cost of their products to make them more competitive. CAV would be a new subcontractor for the manufacture of the frames/chasis and body. If construction is to spec and of quality workmanship thats all thats important. The workmanship of the original AC chasis wasn't anything to write home about and has been far surpassed by todays manufacturing technology and standards.
If the cost of glass cars can be reduced so that they are a little more attainable thats a good thing. At roughly $49,000 to $59,000 for a glass roller is not that much less than what they cost now.
Could it affect the resale value of glass CSX's possibly/maybe. Aluminum CSXs probably not.
If I were the other companies I would be very scared, I mean very scared if SAI does figure a way to cut their manufacturing costs and then pass it on by reducing the price.
For those that still wish to knock the CSX as just being a "dash plaque" all I can say is that the fact remains CSX owners have a REAL Cobra even if the plaque is removed. What do you have???
