New Shelby Cobras??

[TerrysSPF]

Evan: You say the "production cars are going to be even BETTER than the proto-type"?? Are you suggesting that they didn't go over that proto-type with a fine tooth comb making sure it was as perfect as they could get it, so they could excite people about the project and makes some sales off of it!? ...I'm sure they did (even though someone on one of these post said they saw it in person and noticed some "flaws" in the 'glass).
-Hey, pull my other leg........it plays jingle bells!

I'm SURE there ARE differences in quality between SPF, ERA, and CSX. Each have their pluses and minuses. I think the ERA looks more "original" than an SPF. I would tend to believe the suspension / ride is a little nicer in the SPF vs. the ERA though (especially with the Olthoff upgraded Bilsteins). Most ERA's are BB / FE cars, while SPF's seem to feel more at home with a stroker (but there are plenty of BB SPF's out there). I've seen fantastic paint jobs on BOTH vehicles, but on the ERA, it can depends on who painted it. I wouldn't kick either one of them out of bed, I'll tell you that! Fact is, the verdict is still out on the Shelby cars. Sure the proto-type looks fairly nice........but they're designed to do that! They want to MAKE sales....not loose them. Before I plop down a hard earned 40K I'd like to see a few on the road first. Some people are so blinded by the Shelby name / mystic, that they will give the guy their money before ever seeing the product (any Series1 guys out there!?). They must have money to burn. Unfortunately, I don't. I'll wait it out.
