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!

Tuto: I'm not trying to convince anyone. Don't misunderstand. I fully realize that there are some that have their own agenda and will never agree publically and realized it years and years ago. Believe me. Just making my point on a public forum so anyone (including "civilians") reading the thread will see the "facts" are otherwise as stated by the world's leading authority, SAAC. Then had to respond to the comment that I am " lying" to the lay person. Can't let that one go. However, I understand those that continue to argue the point will never publicily agree for their own reasons. I've said all there is to say.

To challenge me on my position is to challenge SAAC and the World Registry on theirs. I don't care what anyone says including those fortuante enough to own an original series Cobra. The SAAC and World Registry has spoken.

You are right, my friend, its all right there in your title work and the World Registry where it says Shelby Cobra. BTW, your car looks great.

Rodknock: Yes, you caught me I'm "lying" about unintentionally makeing my statement. It was part of my nefarious strategy in making my point by making it harder to read. You are quite the sluth.

I am now taking my Cobra out for a ride. Beautiful day and get to answer more is it "real" questions.
