Perhaps a new name TACFKASAAC (The Auto Club Formerly Know As S.A.A.C.).
But then again the Artist Formerly Known As Prince might have a problem with that.  |

Useless information and trying to get to 50 pages.
The artist formerly known as Prince is now known as Prince again.
Why didn't SAI just "raise the rent" to SAAC? Double or triple the licensing fees instead of just cutting them off?

Because it's not about money. It's about someone other than Carroll getting the glory.

First, if anyone is removing original badges from their original Cobras please contact me. I will take them off your hands. 
Second, CW if your GT350 will be worth 40% less in five years than the market value today, I think I can make you some money. I'll buy it today at the 40% discount. You invest the money...see where I'm going?

Sorry if this has already been posted on this forum. It was noted on another site. It's a Shelby 'interview'.

Oh, I thouught it always boils down to the money. My bad. So by asserting his brand, he will get more glory? Does he need more glory? I would think he has enough.

It's not money or glory. It's that SAAC looks down on the Shelby Dodges and Shelby Oldsmobiles.  |

You mean other than CSX4000's. Oops, I'm only kidding.  Hey CW (Ron) did it too with the "repackaged registry" crack. |

so.....an old man is trying to take 'what was his' back. (whatever the hell that means) 50 pages of fussing over what is, has been and will continue to be a continuing issue. Just another day in the saga. I just hope that when he takes the dirt nap, that my in-law's Shelbys appreciate. End.

A couple of pages back, Jamo mentioned a thread that Evan started on the Team Shelby site. I went there to read it and a few things quickly became very apparent.
First off as Jamo said no one knew what type of car Evan was talking about until pictures were posted, they had no idea about the importance of the letters CSX. Secondly, almost immediately some of the regulars there referred to Evan's car as a replica and Jamo managed to give Evan a mild kick in the rear. Fourthly, Evan was very polite and did not try to push the "REAL" aspect of his car. Fifthly, the people on that site seem to like to refer to the man as "Carroll", not the old man or old phart, the Texas chicken farmer, CS, etc, as you would often see here. 
Most importantly however, it quickly became obvious that the traditional Shelby fans (fans of Cobras, GT-350s, GT-500s, etc) are a completely different group compared to the fans of the new Shelby Mustangs. Our love, our passion, our obsession, is with the cars (and the replicas of the cars) that were built in the 60's. The new group doesn't know, and couldn't care less, that Shelby produced anything other than a souped up version of the new Mustang. The two groups appear to have very little in common IMHO, except that they both love cars tied to a man called Carroll Shelby.
It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for Shelby to go after SAAC when it is obvious that their target market is another market segment all together. It would seem to make sense for Shelby to allow SAAC to continue to do their thing with Shelby automobiles made before 1996 (or some other specific date) and for Team Shelby to then concentrate on the newer cars. Instead it appears that Shelby doesn't want anyone else playing in the sandbox, or even being allowed to have their own sandbox in which to play.
This is all becoming very sad.
By the way, can someone tell me what the difference is between a 2008 Mustang GT and a 2008 Shelby Mustang? Is this just cosmetic (stripes & stickers), or are there significant mechanical differences? Do they all come out of a Ford plant or do they go to Shelby for the upgrades like back in the 60s?
