Being from South Africa doesn't make someone Superformance

Let's face it here folks, it's all about the mighty dollar. Shelby in this case could not win in court, so he'll take his own business savvy and beat them in the marketplace.................... I think the major problem here is that the (SPF, ERA, FFR,Back Draft, etc) business people who are currently selling them are really worried about the competition they are soon going to face. Imagine if you will the major damage that the new CSX4000 offerings are going to have on those kits in the same price range. Imagine if you will the major "trickle down" effect this will have on the entire industry. I can think of a number of ways that this will not only effect new Cobra replica sales, but the used market as well. Each owner who is looking to sell something now (myself included) will now have to re-price their vehicles far lower in order to sell them. The market will not handle a "real" $50,000-$56,000 new CSX continuation car, and a (insert any other name brand here) $50,000+ "used" Cobra market any longer. Will we see the bottom drop out in regards to pricing? Will the current lineup of manufacturers annoy their own loyal clients by having to dramatically drop their own prices to compete in this new market? Will the dealers get caught in the middle having to backpedal on cars they just took contracts on (at a far lower price and market point) as the rest of the market settles more than the stock market and national employment rate? As usual, only time will tell..................


Just my own two cents worth on this subject...........
