[QUOTE="black 10th vert, post: 10918466, member: 65729"] Regardless of the few on here that say they wish Ford would drop the Shelby badging, there is many, many more out there that buy the car [I]because of[/I] that name. It's sad, but that is a fact that the marketing division knew very well, and why they were willing to buy into the trademark. It's no different than companies that spend millions just to have some schmuck ball player wear their products for advertising. I have had more than one person say to me "Oh, I thought your car was a Shelby. Too bad it isn't, because then you would have something!" I guess it suddenly makes my Terminator nothing because it doen't have Shelby lettering across the hood.:shrug: with regard to the lawsuit, I feel that the truth lies somewhere between the "victim's" allegations, and what really happened. I have no doubt that some inappropriate stuff may have occurred there because Shelby is very old school, and comes from a time when this stuff was not only very common, but was just considered [I]normal[/I]. I have no love for Shelby after seeing the b.s. he put Factory Five Racing through in the '90's with his multiple trademark lawsuits, but in this case, he is most likely being targeted because of deep pockets, and a created opportunity.
