Damn thread hijacker!

Daytona coupes are nothing compared to what the GTR is capable of. You're talking about a prototype class racer that is street legal because its registered as a kit car. In LeMans terms, it's like comparing a LMP900 class car to a GTS class car.

BTW, Superformance (from South Africa) have been trying to sell their own version for over a year now... one of the partners on the venture/design team built the original Daytona Coupe with Shelby. Now Shelby is trying to block the Superformance coupe by claiming trademark rights and intellectual property rights to the design... and the shape of the car. Recently, Superformance tried to bring a car into the states so they could show it at a car show, Shelby had US customs hold the car at the port of entry claiming trademark infringement. Becaues of this and recent warming of ties between Shelby and Ford... rumors are going around that Shelby will be offering one with Ford's help.

If I had the bucks... I'd rather have an Ultima GTR.
