I've seen the Shelby Series 1 on the road and in a dealership. I think it's just a glorified Vette, and that would probably be insulting to the ZO6s out there. Other than "look at me" looks (not even sure if they are functional) it's got nothing of substance. Maybe the Getrag (I think it's a Getrag) tranny is cool, but the thing doesn't even have good brakes! And the price?!! It's somewhere north of $100K... think of how many BB2s you could have for that... or 993s, even an F355....

A *whopping* 320hp that a $35K Cobra could laugh at.... the list goes on and on. If there was ever an automotive flop, I think this one ranks right up there w/ the Vector, Cizetta, and DeLorean.

Hopefully the new Cobra will address these issues...
