IF this is true, then the question one would subsequently ask himself is:

Is a CSX at $140k twice as good as a Kirkham at $70k?

The answer for me is a no-bainer... Kirkham all the way

Its true, just found out from a authorized Shelby dealer, thats why I ordered a Kirkham, and still have 80g left over for a house, there both good cars seeing they are the same, with the nod going to Kirkham due to the billet suspension, most of the new csx cars I have seen use the Kirkham suspension over original, and they still pay more to have it badged a shelby.

Really? I had no idea CSXers were doing that.

I saw 3 in Vegas last week, they were all full race cars and personally owned, Tom Barnard also uses the Kirkham stuff at his shop when they want a better track car, 2 of the 3 cars had winsdor engines, the other was a FE.

Well, you do get a very nicely painted car when you buy the CSX version...

For clarification, CSX sales continue, in both Aluminum and fiberglass.

There was a temporary new order hold.

Yes there was a price increase as reflected in the posts.

Apparently you think not but I will disagree. I got excellent service from Shelby American on my roller. I needed some door and hood shims and Tony sent them to me no charge. I even got a superb re-paint on my door as a result of a rock ding where the paint work was done by HST. I have no complaints about Shelby's role in my car.

Thanks for piping in Roger... Rumors get out of hand...

The price hike wasnt a rumor, and I wanted someone from shelby to chime in at how high the price has gotten. I basically had to ask in person when I go to vegas because nobody would answer the cancellation rumor, it was like it was some secrete, no body wanted to give an answer. Finally thanks.
