as good a shape as

Post by navit »

Are these sentences correct:

1) He is in as good a shape as I am.
2) He is in as good a shape as I.
3) He is in as good a shape as me.

I think '3' is used, but would technically mean I am a shape.

Gratefully,
Navi

Strictly speaking, none are acceptable standard English, since 'shape' in this metaphorical usage is not countable.
