Improvements include a stronger steel frame and better alloys used in the components, plus better cooling and additional heat shielding to make these cars safer and more drivable without losing any of their original character."

This definition works for the kit car crowd (A little to much snake-oil for me though) For the uninformed car show visitor, try something a little simpler like. "It's a replica of the 1960's Cobra. This one happens to be made by a company CS owns. Surprisingly enough CS found that replicas of the original Cobra are much more popular than he ever imagined, and with his background and connection to the industry, it seemed a natural for him to get re-involved in the Cobra legend. So here you have it, a very authentically made replica made by none other than CS himself."

One of the side effects of this statement is that the person you just talked to will go away happy they stopped by.
