Well I am jumping into the fire.
It could be annoying depending who and how is the question asked. I am one for telling the truth and my mostly used answer is " it is not a $500,000.00 Cobra, but it is manufcatured by WCC " it has a lot of Cobra components and a very nasty 427 Ford side oiler engine that leashes out 550hp at the rear wheels. Very fast, very hot, very noisy, and sexy curves, you will smell like gas at the end of a run your liver will be stucked to your spine and you will have less wrinkles on your face due to the G-Forces.
All this said with a smile. Some smile with you, others are just puzzled as to why would someone drive something so mean...my answer pure masochism!
Women in particular don't care too much about it being real, 99% of the time they say "its a dammed sexy car". Kids love the sound and could care less if it is real or not.
I must brag about this; if I had a buck for all the pictures and videos taken of my car in the 3 months I could pay for all the gas for the 3 months. Not only at shows but while on the road.
I am having the time of my life with it and that's what's important. If it was a real one it would be in my living room under glass cover, not fun.... Since it is not real but an replica, they say that imitation is the most sincere way of flattery. I am thankful to Carrol Shelby for his contribution to my happyness.
