Don't get me wrong, I am like most in that I would rather have an "old" one.

What I like so much about the new one is the statement Ford is making about the original Cobra (including ours). And the obvious effort to build a non-replica says a lot about the respect that they have for the old one... including the replicas.

The GT, on the other hand, is more of a re-creation car.

In my view, each is consistent with the originals cars, their history, and the number of cars that are actually out there. In the case of the GT40, they could do a recreation, in the case of the Cobra, they could not.


Consider it in another, though narrow way... Would Ford really try to build a modern replica of the original Cobra, considering what we already have. I suspect they would have trouble differentiating themselves. Nonetheless, they obviously consider it very important to do, so they made a modern, "reminder" car, not a replica. I think that's good news, and I think it shows respect for the industry as it is now.

That's just my thoughts.

I really like it a lot.
