Bill S.
Bill, I think the ongoing debate stems from people's different definitions of the terms.

To some people, a kit car is anything that wasn't built in the 60s. To others, a kit car is just that... as car sold as a kit (unassembled).

To some people, a replica is anything that wasn't built in the 60s. To some CSX guys, a replica is any Cobra NOT sold by Shelby.

To some people, a real Cobra is one that was built in the 60s. To others, a real Cobra is any one sold by Shelby.

Unfortunately, until the entire Cobra world is on the same page as to what the definitions mean, this debate will never end.
