[QUOTE="1995COBRA-R, post: 868215, member: 9515"] [b]Shelby concept[/b] Paul, I've thought alot about this car after doing alot of internet research (yea, I am not very busy at work). The GT is 500hp/500lbs torq and is $140,000. Everyone will agree it is a great car with a great history (Heritage is a beautiful thing when used wisely). No one can argue that the old GT-40 has no USA car that can equal it's 1,2,3 finish at LeMans and the only American car to win the World Champonship. But can Ford offer another supercar that offers 100 more HP (with the advertised 6.4L V-10, w/600p) with a $50K less sticker? I am not so sure. They've announced 4500 GT's will be built over the next 3 years. Is there room for another supercar? No arguement that the old A/C Shelby Cobra's will never lose their place in history, but they never won LeMans. They never won the W.C. No doubt, they were very succesful in sports car racing. I know of two (old) Shebly Cobra's that have sold in the last month. One going to Switzerland, one back to England (due to the strong Euro vs. the dollar). Both sold for around $150K. One thing we all should agree on. Bill Ford and the other gearheads at Ford are certianly creating alot of excitment in the performance car market (and a few nice trucks, also) my 2 cents:beer: [/QUOTE]
