Quote from Real 1,

"As to what is REAL, it comes down to legalities. Its that simple. The only genuine Cobras are those that legitimately wear the coveted badge and CSX vin#."


Evan,

That is very simple, maybe too simplistic.
If you were refering to the CSX 2---- and CSX 3-----, I would buy your staement, unconditionally !!
Just because it was given the coveted badge of CSX4--- does not give it the same prestige as the REAL CSX2 & CSX3----.
It is common knowledge, I'm sure you'll agree, that the "New" Shelby Cobras are assembled parts from many suppliers, some being "Cobra" parts from Shelby's competitors.

Perhaps the term of a "REAL Contunuation" is more fitting to the CSX4000's being the lineage is somewhat removed from the origional Real Shelby Cobras.

If I may be so bold to equate the Shelby Cobra as a family, the CSX2---- & CSX3----- as brothers, the CSX 4---- (alum.) as a half-brother and the CSX 4---- (glass) as a step brother.
I mean NO disrespect to the Shelby family, cause the step-brother could kick my A$$ just as well as the rest of the family !!

If Caroll Shelby authorized a CSX Number to a WV Bug, that would be the Bastaard child for sure, BUT, would it be a REAL Cobra ?
