I feel like I missed something big. I checked the site last night and then this morning all of a sudden there is a whole forum dedicated to Shelby by SVT. Is this what it is going to be called or labeled?

Thanks for the help.

Well, in on of the other threads, Brad stated he talked to someone at Ford and he was told Shelby was definitely involved. Not sure what that means, but, it kinda points in that direction.

I don't know the official name of the vehicle, but you can bet Shelby's name will be on it somewhere.

Thanks, maybe the CS will be for Carroll Shelby. Cobra CS. Sound kind of cool.

Brad, I am moving to your next of the woods this summer. Is there anyway to find out who are the fair SVT dealers in and around Birmingham? I was looking for the dealer thread but I couldn't find it.

Thanks

I am curious as to why the "Shelby by SVT" forum was created rather than a "Cobra by SVT" forum?

Seems to me the Cobra is a shoe in where the Shelby is just unverified rumors up to now, unless the ruling class has some classified info which is not being filtered to the troops.

I just thought it was more significant that Shelby was involved. If I'm wrong, it doesn't take long to change the forum name.

The downside to calling the forum "Shelby by SVT" is that a lot of folks will take one look at that and think it's official. Seems like a safer bet would just to be "2007 SVT" or "S197 SVT" because that's all we really know.

... If I'm wrong...
So... THERE will be a Shelby by SVT!
This is the first time ever Brad has remotely and confidently considered the possibility of being wrong. :worship:

I think Shelby draws attention better and since I know Shelby's involved, it seems like a safe bet.

I was told that Shelby has bought into SVT. Now what that means, I'm not sure.

So Brad, you're going with the one car and one car only side of the argument?

....just wondering, cuz I'm a two car argument kind of guy myself.

Not that either will matter a whole hill of beans when all is said and done.

IF Shelby did buy into SVT, THEN I suppose SVT would have right to be called Shelby Vehicle Team But if he hasn't, then there should be a car from SVT and Shelby? Man, where is the :implode: icon?

Shelby's reputation has always been to invest other peoples' money, not his own. He just sells his name.

Isn't that the first rule of business?

Yes. 9 out of 10 prostitutes surveyed also agree.
