True. I also have a genuine Shelby Cobra which is a genuine Cobra. Legally and factually. Lets not be silly.
I'm sure in your mind that answer would be fine but not in mine. Actually, I couldn't and wouldn't answer that way at all as that would be misleading and is inherently inconsistent. Joe Public just wants to know if it's a "fake" or "tribute" Shelby Cobra. I just tell people what what it is as I've indicated above. See post #140 second paragraph. Thats all it takes as noted.
Again, the Registry deals with this issue very effectively and logically taking into consideration current common day usage, understanding and meaning of these terms.
Thanks for the suggestion though. I know you mean well.
If we are hung up on "kit" the original series was a the Superformance kit of its day. Ponder that one.
