True, I see your point. However, I figure if the car is going to have a HO supercharger and produce the calibur performance, it would be worthy to wear the cobra. Also, from what I hear, SVT is only making less than 4000 shelby gt500s this year, and they may only make ONE model year of the snake. These new cobras won't be as available as the previous generation. I know I won't be able to get one, but I can make my 05 more than worthy against a stock gt500. That's all. But, I too, get frustrated of the dilemma of putting cobra emblems on or not. Yet when I saw some GT's at the Knotts Berry Farm show wearing cobra badges, I thought they were really awesome. I just don't want my emblem to say shelby, just like theirs, though I do admire Carroll.
