Yeah, I do have a problem with my car being called a "replica". Its not a replica of a Cobra. It is a genuine Cobra. We all know what the intended infrerence/implication is by you and others referring the the Continuation series as a "reproduction" or "replica". Your use the word "replica" and "reproduction" is intended to imply it is not a real cobra but fake. Period. You know this.

I think the fair use of the word "replica" should be used for reference to all "non Shelby Cobra" look alikes. SAAC seems to agree with me and so does Team Shelby. This is all I've been saying for years and have been maligned for doing so. And..just so you know I have never knocked "replicas". I have high regard for the quality of cars such as ERA, Spf and others and admire them.

Why is it so hard for you and your buddies just to refer to the CSX Continuation Series as a Continuation Series Cobra and accept it for what it is, a REAL Cobra but NOT an original. Thats exactly what it is. This is not an "elitist" thing at all despite the allegations by you and others. Not at all. Such allegations were simply not fair or true.

Maybe if you were nice I might have even let you take 4206 on the back straight at Watkins Glenn or take her for a spin since you live close by but you haven't been very nice soooo ...forget it!
