Taz: Ok. Your right. My comments were a little out of line. I was just getting a little ticked at all the scarcastic comments on this thread.
I apologize. When I'm out of line I will admit it. Sorry. I really do not wish to insult anyone.
I wish to state that FFRs can be built to be very nice cars. I myself would like a spec racer. I'm sure many guys have chosen FFRs eventhough they could have spent more on something else because a FFR was their choice for their own reaons, whether weight, chasis design etc...
Sometimes I just crack (very rarely though) under the pressure and resort to the "oh yeah! syndrome".
"Genuine" is "being of true origin or proceeding from the author or source. " It can also mean "proceeding from the the original stock or source." So yes, Genuine can have two meanings or usages. Clearly the CSX Continuations fit within one of the common usages. As Edley pointed out, most non "Cobra" people may not be aware of the Continuation series. So when they ask "Is it REAL" they are clearly refering to the original. They are then entitled to a truthful answer which is "Yes, it is a REAL Cobra, but the new Continuation series Cobra now being produced by Shelby American." Its that easy. I can tell you without exception the amazment and excitement people then express at seeing a new '65 spec Cobra from Shelby American.
So in the end you can call my car a fake snake. I know what it is, myopia and all. So does SAAC.
If it turns out FFR does buy SAI it still won't change what the car is. FFR would also be foolish to change the CSX and its status. It would be truly sad to make extinct again what SAI brought back to life.
Bandit 1 stated it correctly. Its just that simple. Whats the problem?
