Guess it's a chance thing because I've never been snubbed by any Cobra or Corvette owner. Recently our club had a breakfast meet, there were 10 Cobra's in the lot. The Corvette club pulled up in a lot across a 5 lane road. There were several of those guys that came over to look at our cars. I had a gentleman sit in mine, and then offer to buy it. Other Cobra guys, never been snubbed by them, no matter what the make. I've found that car guys are different. Many are outgoing, loud, obnoxious but just as many are quiet, reserved and respect other people's efforts. This is the case with a Cobra owner with a B&B kit. He at first was very standoffish, seemed to look down his nose at my car, but now, he and I get along great, he has complemented the color of my car many times and has helped me put it back together after my winter mods. Maybe it just takes breaking the ice with someone that appears to be looking down their nose. As for the manufacturer thing, I don't know, I sometimes get that from any car guy with any manufacturer.
