I actually think this entire thread is about the wrong question. We should be discussing this one.

Why do owners of cars not built by Shelby Anerican refer to their cars as Cobras?

I see it all the time here. I see it at car shows where owners fill out the information card identifying their car as a Cobra. Very rarely do I see the word "replica" in those cases. Some owners even have audicity to use the word "Shelby."
