[QUOTE="terminator02, post: 2874022, member: 4032"] Well, seeing that we are back on topic..I don't think Z06 is king of retro vettes. Teh majority of buyers by it for its performance benefit (much like SVT). I think INITIALLY, people outside of internet forums may rush to the "SHELBY." But this is one Shelby that has no engineering or anything to do with Carrol Shelby other than marketing. Pure and simple. Cars should never be bought for investments in mind. But the cars that end up being worth something..well they leave a legacy. I promise you, this one is not shaping up to do that as of yet. Shelby is ONLY adding a premium to this car..thats it, otherwise its a pure SVT cobra..thats it. So I have a problem with that. It sucks! I also have a problem with there being fake stripes on a 40k car! No side mirrors painted either! No "SHELBY" on the back (hey at least get me some attention from other car drivers for that extra 5k). It will have to be seen if it really is 500hp. But 07 is much different than 03. People appreciate weight loss these days. This car is too fat, and the EVO, 350z, rx-8, amongst many other cars, are now showing what kind of VALUE you can get with a car under 35k. No maybe the cobra will be faster in a straight line. But I enjoy a good turning radius too. I drive my 03 and it feels like an F'ing boat. I demand more from SVT. Corvette did not just challenge the Viper with more HP. It created an amazing vehicle. 3130 pounds, 505hp, Dry sump, carbon fiber panels, wider tires, the list goes on and on. They didn't answer the call...they set a new standard. SVT and Ford are NOT setting a new standard, they are riding on what people responded to back in 03....well I am sorry, this is one previous very passionate owner of a Mustang Cobra...and my tastes and attitudes have changed. SVT and Ford are not setting new standards ( 03 cobra) they are just banking on pure marketing. Period. [/QUOTE]
