No - in fairness - he never insists that its an original, but he sure goes out of his way in every conversation to make the unsuspecting public think it is and to make those in the know think its better than all others because its made by Shelby.

Buddy - that may be true for those who (understandably) feel its worth paying the extra premium to be able to say that their car is (technically) a REal Cobra. To most others its just another - very good - replica to be judged alongside all of the others according to quality and value for their dollar.
Correcto! Well for the most part. What "everyone" takes as real or not real is up to them nor do I profess to read their minds but apparently this board is full of mind readers.

Observation. The "Most others" don't own Shelbys.

Yup, I do think it's better because its a Shelby. That's why I bought it.
