When I tried to explain to him that they both are rolling chassis cars from South Africa, he told me I didn't know was talking about and that Superformance is the only one out of South Africa and they use all "original" parts. I politely tried to explain the licensing agreement they had with Shelby, but that the parts are new and offered pulled up Superformance's web site on my phone to show him that Superformance advertises that there are no "used parts" and most parts are engineered in house... He wasn't interested.

I told him he had a sweet ride and invited him to join the club and do some research on these cars. He thanked me by going around and telling people that my car was a piece of %@$ cheap imitation kit car, not to vote for mine and he had the real deal. He also told me and everyone else that his Roush 342r was really a 427 and that it had 540hp at the wheels.
I shook his hand told him nice to meet him and waited for people to come up to me to let me know that he was badmouthing all non-Superformance Cobra's. I literally had 6 people tell me. One of which was could not stop laughing at the guys ignorance. Then, he walked away with the "best-in-show" for his "real" Cobra... I am glad a Cobra won the show, just wished it was under different circumstances. So be on the lookout for Joe with his white Cobra with Lamborgini orange stripes. Nice car, but the driver...well...let's just say I like the car better. I'll try to buy him a beer next time, life's too short to argue.

Jimbo,
That guy at the car show is my neighbor's cousin!He said he's a real Jag and has to have the biggest and best things available! He'd buy a chrysler 300 and tell everyone it really was a Bentley!LOL! My american icon was built by an AMERICAN and a VETERAN at that!
