Any replica, in the publics eyes, IS a Cobra. You cannot legislate public opinion. If you call it something OTHER than a Cobra, you will be misleading people. While the name is trademarked it's like many other names of products so common in the world. Pass the Kleenex, which may well be some other 'brand name'. Let's go get a Coke, I feel like having a root beer. The list goes on and on, the Cobra name is exactly the same. You can TRY to 'put a lid on it' but the genie is out of bottle. Shelby all ready lost the rights to shape and form, it is now in the public domain, as it should be. I simply call it what it is, a Cobra, there's no getting around it.
