Please, help me out and forgive me. It is hard to identify people I have never met in person. It seems to me, however, that there is not one challenger to REAL 1's position that is an ORIGINAL owner in this thread. Indeed, it seems to me that all challengers are non-original owners. Is this true? If that were the case, then REAL 1 is addressing the wrong audience. Unless you own an original car, your comment is pretty superfluous and inconsequential. The issue here is between a CSX2000/3000 owner and a 4000/6000/7000 one. So far, and again correct me if I'm wrong, I have yet to witness an owner of an original challenge REAL 1. ERA, Kirkham, FF, are all very nice indeed, but they are NOT Shelby Cobras. They may arguably be, in some instances, a better product... but, guess what? They are NOT Shelby. I think REAL 1 has to relax, take the back seat, watch, and drive his car. There is no one on this earth that can convince this audience of the validity of a CSX Continuation car. Be that as it may, the fact remains. Original, real, copy, replica, kit, continuation... who cares. It is a Shelby Cobra, no matter how you approach and/or look at it. Ultimately, your paper work speaks for itself.
Just drive it.
I have expressed my full thought on this elsewhere.
In the meantime, somebody asked to talk about one's car, its virtues, its needs, etc., instead of the originality/authenticity issue. I made an attempt at digressing by telling you about my transmission, and no one paid attention. Obviously, then you are all fixated in a never ending issue. I guess it keeps some of you busy. I have no issue. I own a Shelby Cobra with the CSX6108 number. Does any one else?
Cheers!
