That's right.....but I drove mine this morning....and yesterday...and the day before.

When I got into this I worried some that my fakey-do 'Cobra' wasn't 100% (or even 75%) authentic but after having it for 10 years and enjoying the hell out of it and encountering people that spend all their time waxing theirs or trying to convince others how much mo better their car I realize how much more of a bargain mine has turned out to be.
Funny: Just got back from a drive in my Cobtra. Whatda know. Seems like I'm not the one with a stick up my @$$ from the tone of your post. I've had my Shelby Cobra for nearly 14 years and each year I enjoy it as much as the day I took delivery. Oh, have plenty of "patina" from road rash and stones too.

Not trying to convince anyone how much better my car is. Nope. Just keeping the facts straight from those trying to drag it down.
I don't know who you met but it wasn't me.

Oh, btw I can clearly sell my Shelby Cobra for substantially more than my initial purchase investment. As to the future? Who knows. I can say this with confidence that my Shelby is more likely to appreciate substantially in value in years to come over any FFR or other fake Cobra. If there were a bet on that I know where the smart money would be. LOL.
Hey. I'll alway be hear with my popper scooper to pick up the CC peanut gallery turds. Keep 'em coming.
