Evan, Evan, Evan,
I was not putting you down personally--get a grip, dude.
I know you've never come right out and said good or bad about another members make, only "Shelby's are real". But all in all there are many in here that put down in someway some other a guys car because it is not "correct"(original). re-read my post.
BTW I could afford a Shelby--I don't want one, or a Kirkham, or another SPF, seriously looked at buying one of the new coupes, but couldn't really justify it---I bought a glass NAF 289 for 16K--and you know what I have a grand ol' time with it--I'm not near as fearful of driving it as I was the SPF, maybe it's the cost factor, I don't know. But I am not making a pretentious statement with this car either---look at it and any Cobra guy will find a list of faults a mile long.
But I could care less--it isn't real--it's a hot rod with a Cobra body
So chew on that--you drive your Shelby, I'll drive my NAF---and to the average Joe---we both have " A COBRA "
