That's how I feel.
Also, for ERANJ's benefit, since he joined us late, and who seems like a really nice person, I wanted to catch him/her up on the list of analogies we've attempted to use over the last 50+ pages in order to describe and compare the Shelby Cobra replica to 1 of the genuine 998:
a) The Present-day Auto Manufacturer (Challenger, Ferrari, etc.) Analogy
b) The Mona Lisa by da Vinci Analogy
c) The Rolex Watch Analogy
d) The Dolly The Sheep Cloning Analogy
e) The Seafaring Vessel (row boats and dingees) Analogy
f) The Tribute Band Analogy (Van Halen, Journey)
g) The Indian Motorcycle Analogy
h) The 6 LW Jaguars built by Jaguar Analogy
I may have missed a few, but that's a solid list.
And I'm still voting for "d."
Producing anything 30-50 years later is a replicating or cloning process. And if something is replicated or cloned, then it simply can't be genuine or authentic. Which brings me back to Evan's license plate, which is "Real427." While he does have an original 427 side oiler, the car itself is a replica. Call it a true replica, whatever that means. To me, it's still a replica.
