MarkIV: Uh, Shelby Licensing isn't filing suit against itself. That is an inaccurate statement. They are withdrawing their licensing to a dealer that is not delivering.
As to the "replica" comment, that must have made you feel better. Had to get that in eh? Ouch!
For your refresher please refer to
www.SAAC.com In fact in reviewing what SAAC says it appears that the MarkIV is not even considered a genuine Cobra (replica or otherwise) Oops. Sorry MarkIV.
