CSX 7000 series owners

I love Shelby. I have been to his old Vegas Factory and did a tour at SAAC doe Vegas 6. I got my obligatory 90 second meeting with him while he signed some high priced prints I bought, but it was well worth meeting the Legend. My 5 year old son watches his videos and has all the toys and wants to meet Carroll desperately. I have a 68 GT 500 That I will eventually have to sell to aquire a Cobra. and If I am selling my SHELBY, I want it to be done for another SHELBY. I get on this forum from time to time and enjoy everybodys stories and bench racing. It all centers around the mutual love of these 2 seated Cars. Part of me says to hold on to the GT 500 and get a good Replica COBRA. another part of me wants a second Generation SHELBY COBRA. Hell, I was ready to plunk down ten grand on the S.A. car until I found out I could not see one in person. Then I started following CSX 700?'s dilemma and It scares me quite frankly. I am not looking for a Component Car that has to be completely reconfigured by me, which is what it appears this guy has been going through. I will say this, The $39,900 SA Car got me looking. the lack of appearance of the SA car as well as the problems this guy has had, has me looking at other manufacturers. Now I also must point out, I am a small business owner and grew up in the service department of a FORD dealer where my Father was the Service Manager. I understand there is always two sides to every story. the problem I do not like here is that the story has too many chapters and no end in sight! The old motto "The Customer comes first, is always right" is a great way to do business. when SAI had this car back why did they not go the extra mile and carefully scrutinize every nut and bolt on this car? I also must say I respect SAI for not getting into a Public argument with this client either. I do not know to what lengths they have gone or offered to go to for this guy. I truly hope that This matter gets resolved quickly.
