I'd say "Oh yeah, this baby's REAL," like - be honest - most replica owners do. If the person asking the question really wants to know, they'll follow up with the right questions. If they're just asking for the hell of it, they'll usually leave it alone.
I've seen hundreds of replicas from all makes and talked to most of the owners and soo far, not one of them has ever tried to pass their car off as anything but a replica........
And I do know a couple of original owners who from time to time when asked say their car IS A replica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked one guy WHY??? he said I don't want certain types of people to know I own an original for security reasons....
