theres a story on autoblog today- the uproar over at teamshelby.com forums got Shelby to revise their pricing...that hood shipped was approaching $24,000.00, they dropped it to $9700.00 - still expensive? yes, but it is a pretty exotic piece, and was crash tested, etc that wound up a lot of money in it... Kudos to SAI for revising the prices from totally insane to 'just crazy', but not totally unexpected for a top shelf limited production type thing...

personally I still think its pricey, but thats why I drive a 23,000.00 mustang GT instead of a 50-60-80K Shelby...heck I thought my Fang shaker hood was expensive at $900

I'll find a link to the autoblog article...

just read the latests..it looks like Ford it trying to do right but SAI is still pointing fingers and playing the blame game.

Sad but not suprising
