Fair enough. I absolutely agree that when most people ask is it real they want to know if it is an original. But I don't agree with you that my answer should be the same as "other replicas owners" because the Shelby is not a replica of a Cobra it is a Cobra. Not a hard concept here. I'm sure replica owners would like my answer to be the same as theirs but it aint.

When I'm asked if my car is REAL, my answer and the fair answer is, "Yes it is, its a new Continuation series Cobra from Shelby American". Thats what I routinely say and never has anyone walked away with the impression its a 60 year old orignal (at least I don't see how they could). The vast reaction and response has been acceptance as a REAL Cobra with the understanding its not an original.

Thats makes it pretty clear. No misrepresentations there. You don't have an issue with this do you? If you do you need to notify SAAC, Team Shelby and Amy to correct their statements. Start posting.
