Shelby's use of the term 'continuation' is at best a 'stretch' and, at worst, completely incorrect and misapplied, given the many differences between the original 998 cars and the replicas Shelby is currently building. That's what I mean.
Unfortunately, whether something is a 'continuation' car or not isn't clearly a 'black and white' issue, but more a continuum or 'shades of grey'. If a car has to be an exact copy, using the same materials, methods and processes as the originals in order to be labelled a 'continuation', then perhaps none of the marques' 'continuation' cars would be correctly labelled as they all incorporate changes of some kind - however minor.
