I confess, he is right: I prefer the historic Cobras of the 60's to the more modern copies. Guess I must be crazy.
The facts remain as follows: The cars that created the Cobra mystique - the 998 Cobras referred to as genuine, original, and legitimate - were built in the 1960's by the mutual partnership of AC Cars and Shelby American. Everything that followed was a copy in one form or another. Go down the list and name your brand, from Arntz to Butler to Contemporary, etc - they are all facsimiles of the original, and were marketed as such. Some are pretty good copies while some are less so. Regardless, if your Cobra-like automobile wasn't built in the 60's, it is not one of the 998 original cars, hence it must be something else. Such as a replica of one of the original Cobras. It simply can not be anything else, no matter how many different ways you attempt to spin it.

Thanks for admitting your personal bias. It is patent. You say "copy", I say as does your Club and the Registry "Continuation" and genuine Cobra. Not an original series agreed 100% but a genuine Cobra none the less. Them there are the facts. No question the most coveted are the original series. Not arguing about that.
Hell, CSX 2001 was a copy of CSX 2000 and so forth and so on if we want to argue.
In fact I could make a very compelling argument that my CSX has more Shelby DNA than your COX.
