Shelby chose "Component Cobra" to describe the CSX4000 cars and this is documented in the SAAC World Registry - considered to be the definitive authority on the Shelby Cobra.

There is no mystery on how we should refer to these cars now. Do not call them "replicas", there is proper etiquette to be followed. If you see a CSX4000/6000 series car you really like, by all means tell the owner they have a beautiful Shelby Component Cobra.
