Are you saying it's more about a conituation of a brand?
I've said why I think Shelby Cobras are replicas, one of which is that the Shelby company is not the same company, partly due to the 30 year lapse in production. More real? Companies evolve and that's fine, but cars companies cannot build and sell 1960's cars to the public for road consumption today. Porsches and Corvettes are real, but they've changed dramatically over the years for many reasons.
