Default Agreed...

Thank god, we're back on topic!

I agree completely...modernized Cobra-like cars have skewed the perception of what an original Shelby Cobra looked like. Where we differ, is that I believe the changes are in the spirit of the Cobra, and for the better. The original cars are great, and from a historical perspective I think preserving some of them is a good idea.

If you ask me, this kind of creativity is a tribute to the kind of thinking that spawned the Cobra in the first place. If you think we're bastardizing the Cobra, then I say Shelby bastardized the Ace. Shelby's creativity has skewed the perception of the original AC Ace just a little don't you think? Or, is the Ace not worthy of your preservation stance?
