iirc, GM made a ton of 57 Chevys, arent those collector cars? its not completely about numbers produced or how rare they are in 30 years, but how desireable the car is. of course rarity will make the car worth more, but in 30 years, who's to say how many are still around in mint condition. how many wont be wrecked? like the terminator, i think they definitely will be worth something, just maybe not as much as a COPO camaro.
as far as this cobra's handling, i forgot to mention that he took some corners at pretty high speeds and the car was just glued to the road. im sure having 9" wide Goodyear F1s has something to do with it, but for stock suspension i was really impressed with its cornering abilities.
while the M3s keep going up in price, for $46k this cobra cant be beat, although i wish they would have still kept them in the $30ks.... i bet you with a professional driver in each car, that shelby could keep up, or surpass, the M3 no problem.
