Shelby-American And Superformance Are Next-Door Neighbors?????!!!!!

[TerrysSPF]

I've been waiting for someone to bring this up.........it will be interesting to see what people have to say about Shelby's "new location".......and why it is, where it is. Will someone from Shelby chime in on this?? We'll see......

I almost brought it up on another thread (someone was talking about Shelby hiring new engine builders, etc....), but I decided to wait for someone else's thoughts on the matter.

Did Shelby do it to to try and hurt SPF's business? Who knows what runs through that mans head.....especially after not coming up on top in the lawsuit(s). He definately got ahold (somehow) of, what I consider, one of the best engine builders / Cobra installers, in the area.

Heck, Shelby isn't located "next door" to Dynamic Motorsports........they share the same driveway for christsake! A ridiculous move if you ask me. Ater all, we aren't talking "hamburgers" here. They have a terrible location compared to Dynamic. You cannot see them from the street (they are BEHIND Dynamic) and I'm not sure if they will be allowed to place a sign in front of Dynamic or not.......depends on who owns the property.

I know one thing.......Shelby's new CAV roller better be a good car. Going head to head with SPF at this price range won't be easy (probably one of the main reasons for the delays). SPF has been selling their cars for quite some time, and have the "bugs out"....so to speak. They sell plenty of cars to the public because they produce a GREAT CAR for the money.......and they HAVE to. They don't have a famous "name" or a CSX number to rely on doing some of the selling for them.

So, it will be interesting to see what happens with this (this business venture, AND this thread!) What do YOU people think took place with all of this? To me, going by Shelby's past few years of lawsuits, and anger towards the replica industry....I think I smell something "foul" (and I doubt it came from Shelby's tight 'old schvinkter).

I'll tell you what, though. There will be some FUN "test drives" when a customer from SPF and a customer from Shelby end up heading down the driveway at the same time! Eric better drop an alum. 427 in his test car!!
