The Ford Shelby Cobra is an incredible concept, but it might not be what the market needs, or the best thing Ford could do to win back customers.

Ford should produce the Shelby Cobra as a real production model like the Corvette, and not as a trophy car like the Viper. Price it right and it's a winner.

George Bailey, South Orange, N.J.

The Cobra is awesome, but it should not be used to get Ford back on its feet. Ford needs to focus on improving the cars it is already producing. The majority of car buyers want a practical, affordable and reliable car that is still cool to look at.

Anthony Leger, Laguna Niguel, Calif.

You can tell a car company has lost its way when it has to resurrect 40-year-old designs to compete with today's cars. I expected more out of Ford and Carroll Shelby.

Brian Wiklem, Laguna Hills, Calif.
