I really can't understand what all the fuss is about (all 8 or 10 pages of it). A Shelby Cobra is a Cobra produced and sold by Shelby - all auto manufacturers out source parts, including bodies; remember the Cadillac Allante? An original Cobra is a Cobra produced and sold by Shelby (and / or AC) in the sixties. Any other Cobra is a replica. So whats the problem? Nothing anyone says or does pertaining to his or her own car can impact on what my car is or is not, or the way I feel about it.
Everyone has a right to feel good about the car that they own. FFR owners feel good that their cars are inexpensive, light and fast. ERA owners are proud of the beauty and reputation that their cars enjoy. Why can't CSX owners be openly proud of the fact that their cars are REAL Shelby Cobras without incurring the wrath of almost everyone else?
