Ralphy: Yes, perhaps you could enlighten me on the disservice to SAAC and Shelby American in what I stated and how what you stated is such a service to them. As far as not having the opportunity of rubbing elbows with you I'll be losing a lot of sleep over that one.

Fjrgary: Yes, actually I agree. The registry is a great source of information but it is a great source of information for everyone. Despite your concession of it being a great source of information you apparently chose to ignore the parts that don't suit your fancy (that's if you even read one). If you haven't perhaps you should buy one and read it. You might learn something.

Also not justifying my purchase of a Continuation Cobra. I was just answering the OPs question. I gave him the correct answer (which he asked for btw) as per the authoritative reference and cited the authoritative source for the answer.

jhv48: Well maybe this "wise man said that but then wise man is wrong too. No doubt he is a CC regular too. Doesn't Jay Leno own a replica? Carroll Shelby owned a Continuation Series Cobra also. Pretty sure either one could afford any original Cobra they wanted.

Dimis: Yes, I appreciate your effort to "save" me but alas I have a low tolerance for CC BS. Don't worry mate, I'll be just fine without your help. Thanks for you "help" anyway.

You guys think I am putting down "replicas" and trying to justify my own purchase of a CSX or touting somehow that my Cobra is "better". That's just not true. Better is a relative term. I am merely citing the world most respected authoritative source on the subject and all these cars and recounted how they define all these cars. You may not like their definitions and categories but that's what it is. You are free to call your cars what you want of course and have your own personal definitions of course. That's fine by me. Couldn't care less but don't start defining my Cobra and other Continuations Series Cobras according to your own personal definition on a widely read web site and expect not to be corrected (at least by me) by what the Registry states.

I am confident in the following: If the Registry supported your positions every one of you would be citing it to a man to "correct" me and establish how wrong I was if I varied from it. Anyone who would deny that is a liar.

Cheers.
