I like the Shelby concept better than the GR1. That is an awesome machine.

I would have to agree with this.
At first I liked the GR1 but when I saw what they did with the Star Trek
interior and the mercury paintjob they put on in the March Motor Trend
magazine, it looked like the Hot Wheel that I never played with.

The Shelby Cobra has really grown on me.

So whats the real deal with this car? Is it going to be produced or are has the GR-1 become the replacement? I wasnt a fan of the GR-1 at all. Exotic and all that but nothing special but the roadster. Amazing! I wish theyd produce it.

I like it better than the GR1 but frankly I'd rather have one of the replicars. The best I've found is at www.superformance.com

I think the most current speculation I read was that the GR-1 was developed to give the line more breadth ... the Cobra concept would be too expensive to produce by itself, but by putting the roadster and the GR-1 coupe both on the same production line (the one the GT currently occupies) they could justify the costs by diversifying production a bit.

I don't know how true that is, but that's the last thing I read. The Cobra is the better of the two IMO, but it needs to keep costs down. I'd like to see it in Viper range, personally.

Very sweet looking car, but in my opinion he will never top the style and appearence of the ac cobras.
