Pick your side

[Old Phart]

I thought this thread was "Pick Your Side". Not about whether a CSX 4000 series was real or not. Heck, if you want to know about the CSX 4000's cars, look it up in the 1997 Shelby Registry. That's good enough for me.

I knew there were issues the day I came on. I spoke to the SAAC owners at VIR and told them Carroll was upset. He hadn't gone to a convention in years. .....amy b

He hadn't gone to a convention in years? What? Let's see.....VIR was SAAC 31 in 2006....right?

SAAC 30 was in California in 2005:



That looks like CS in the cowboy hat, there in the middle...

SAAC 29 was in Michigan:



Think I've seen that guy at the podium before...

Then there was SAAC 28 in Nashville:



I think the guy next to Dennis Gage is CS....

At SAAC 27, even though Shelby was in great pain from recent surgery, he still entertained SAAC members for lunch at his shop.

I think clubcobra members have as much to fear from CS and TS as SAAC members....if he succeeds in crushing SAAC...he'll be after anybody else who happens to use "Cobra" in their name. This is definately a dark time in history for Shelby and Cobra enthusiasts.

Just think, if CS had invested half as much effort into embracing the Cobra replica market, instead of suing and trying to KILL it, he COULD have probably been the largest Cobra replica manufacturer in the world. Instead, he has alienated an entire group of followers who loved the cars he built so much that they created their own versions of it.

Seems to me it would have been much simpler to just leave SAAC alone, and start Team Shelby for the guys with the new cars. If SAAC was so bad, people would have switched over to TS anyway. Now, the lines have been drawn, and the guys who tune their cars with computers are on one side, and the guys who tune them with their ears are on the other side - and I don't think most of them are coming over.....

If CS wants to take back his name and not let SAAC use it, I guess who is to say that he can't do that, after all, it is his name. However, for him to do that after all SAAC has done through out the years to support the hobby and, indirectly CS himself, would be a pretty sh!tty thing to do, but that is his call I guess.

However, it is complete BS for CS to try and lay claim to the work product created by SAAC and its members over years. IMO, he has absolutely right whatsover to that.

Thus, I support SAAC.

Jamo,

I was working my way back on topic....

Maybe I can ask Amy since she seems to control things over at TS....

....Someone tried to put an informational note about the SAAC convention up on Team Shelby and it was deleted...why????????

I really find it offending if they are editing/deleting threads just because it has something to do with SAAC. Why all the deletions???? That thread was hurting no one!
