dont quote me or be quick to flame but im saying thats what i heard not sure if i believe it.
It's actually quite possible. Back when Shelby sued for in '84 for the use of the "GT350" moniker the courts ruled that since the name hadn't been used in such a long time that it was up for grabs. Shelby did the same thing with the '93 Cobras, I believe. Besides, now that he's working with Ford again I wouldn't doubt he'd let them use the name without a big fuss. Only time will tell, but that'd be freakin sweet.
