Hide your heads in shame!!!!!

Scott,

Sorry that you feel that way.

If there is any confrontational feelings, it was started with Mr. Shelby's latest suit against Factory Five. That's a whole other ball of wax that I'm not gonna get into.

If you look at the dates on most of these posts, they were right after the initial filing of the suit. Most Cobra enthusiasts were royally pissed off at that time and I think the posts reflect the animosity.

Since then, I think most folks have cooled down, I know I have. Most folks see how ridiculous this suit is and see it as nothing more that a nuisance suit. I have goten passed it and will have a good laugh when it backfires on Carroll and Venture Capital. It won't stop me from inquiring and possibly ordering a CSX8000 down the road. I love what they have done with the frame for the CSX7000 & 8000 with the transverse leaf springs, a step backwards from a suspension perspective, but absolutely accurate and beautiful. Probably rides like crap, but who cares!

I think a lot of questions that were asked (in a quite pissed off manner by myself in particular), was due to the misconception or lack of info on the prices of kits and availability to the general public.

My take is the CSX4000 is authentic, an authentic SAI car built in the 1997 to 2000 timeframe, not an ORIGINAL from the 60s.

I still love them, don't get me wrong, if you see my other thread on the CSX8000, I like it and I want one. I have no ill will against the owners of these cars. I have a number of friends that either have them or are getting one built. I just don't like what I see Mr. Shelby doing.

Even a lot of old timers that know him question this move.

I say we let it lay and let the courts decide in 2001. In the meantime, go out and kick some holiday arse in that car!

JM
