I think people love these cars so much that they develop a personal standard for what a Cobra replica SHOULD be. Usually, this matches very closely to the one they happen to own. Any car that deviates from this standard runs the risk of being deemed "unworthy".

I understand this attitude, because I know how I feel when I see a classic muscle car (particularly a GTO) that has been hacked, chopped, and abused by someone who does not respect its history. But, it's a lot harder to make this argument with a replica.

The vast majority of Cobra replica owners I have had contact with in the last six months seem to feel that you should build the car that makes you happy. Just don't impose this "standard" on others.
