Hey Ron, great idea! I love steel cage matches.

Xlor8: Uh, yeah. I read it. I wrote it. Maybe you should read it again if you don't get it.

I'll make this real easy for all those that don't get it. Please refer to www.SAAC.com or maybe pick up the Current Team Shelby magazine. They speak very clearly on the issue and their position is very clear. I merely echo their position.

As far as I'm concerned SAAC and Team Shelby/SAI are the only real authorities on the issue. Its settled as far as I'm concerned. For those that don't agree, thats fine. You can continue the mental masturbation as to whehter the Continuation series is a "replica" or a "reproduction" or whether "genuine" is the same as "real" etc..Its a free country so continue on then.... but the facts and authority make it very clear. The CSX is legitmately a REAL Cobra newly manufactured by Shelby American who built and created the original series. I also find it rather coincidental that nearly every guy who wants to dump the Continuation series in the "replica" bin doesn't own a CSX. Hmmm. Interesting ain't it? Wonder why that is in most cases.

I'm sure that alot of non CSX owners would love to write a little mandatory script for CSX owners to recite when we are asked if our cars are "real" which I'm sure would include the word "replica" or "reproduction" in the description. However, unfortunately for them when someone asks if my car is "REAL" my answer is always as noted above..."Yes sir it is, its a new Continuation series Shelby Cobra". Its accurate, truthful and clear. And if you like that you'll love this...when asked if my car is a "replica" my answer is always "no". Why? Because its not. You guys can answer any way you would like about your car. I'll answer any way I'd like about mine, thank you very much. Did I say its a free country?

Thank you very much. I'm off to "crap" up another thread now...
