What difference does it make what the body is made of? AC is/was producing Carbon fiber bodied cars, no? Its still an AC.
foothills: Your argument doesn't carry much weight. We are not talking a major manufacturer with thousands of jobs being lost here. If one were to agree with your argument then its logic would equally apply to SPF. Are you saying that you own no product made in a foreign country that has an American made competitor? Moreover there is NO American competitor that can offer you a new genuine Cobra. Shelby is it.
Its not a "vague" promise of higher resale that you get with a CSX. Its the fact that you get a Cobra not merely a replica of a Cobra for nearly the same price. The problem may in fact be not that the SA Shelby will increase in value its what the SA CSX will do to the value of similarly priced ERAs, SPFs etc.. Give the choice of spending the same money I would think a majority of buyers would rather have a Shelby Cobra. Call me crazy.
In fact I'll be willing to bet that a new SA CSX Shelby Cobra is probably LESS expensive than similarly equipped ERA roller from the factory. The only option on the new SA CSX are the 42 gallon tank and larger brakes. Has anyone done an item by item price comparison.
With the ERA many things I have as I understand are extra that are standard on the CSX are extra. Leather, outboard brakes, roll bar, remote
oil cooler, aluminum panels, pusher cooling fans, real 6 pin pin drives, headers and sidepipes etc.. I believe the CSX comes standard with these items. The ERA does not.
