Default Yep! That's It!

GR:

That's what I've been tryin' to say. These replicas are hot rods decked out as Cobras. Just like the 'glass '32 Fords are replicas. No matter how hard some guys want it to be otherwise, they're still not an original. And, you know what? From what little I know about the original cars, I'm glad mine is not one of those. I could never drive it for fear I'd get rear-ended by Granny at a stoplight.

I've often thought the same as you. I've been taken to task by some other owners (REPLICAS) for my choice of engine, wheels/tires, and gauges, and other assorted featiures of my car. Yet, they have a car with a 351W in it and all of the assorted non-Cobra items you mention attached to their cars. They seem to "overlook" this fact.

By the way guys, Evan just made a funny. You were joking weren't you Evan? Tell me that "down the nose" comment was a joke. Yeah, he was joking, I know he was. Evan?

LMAO!
