Al, Doesn't Superformance build bodies for Shelby American for the Cobra and the Daytona? Other than the price, does the Shelby name have any real value other than the intrinsic point of recognition?

They are built in the same factory but are not the same car. I’m not trying to reopen the real versus replica argument or anything like that.

My point is that Carroll Shelby and his various companies have gone to great length and expense to protect the Cobra name. Sometimes they’ve been successful, sometimes they haven’t. Superformance is an authorized licensee, but they don’t call their product a Cobra. I don’t know the details of the license, but they appear to avoid the name Cobra in their literature. Thus, it seems strange to me that an authorized Shelby dealer would call the Superformance products Cobras. Isn’t that like biting the hand that feeds him?

I think when shelby saw how much better of a car the superformance is over the glass csx they had to jump on board, where else they gonna get there bodies made, you scratch my back ill scratch yours kinda thing, shelby seems to do alot of that to make extra cash.
