I see a pattern of historical inaccuracies and comments I don't appreciate.
Sure, you can call them whatever you want, but why go out of your way to call them "fakes" and "hotrods shaped like Cobras".
Are you just trying to piss people off?
Check your history,
they started as race cars, that's why they look like that.

Don't worry about naysayers; they got the wrong history. It is your car and your money. Personally, I like the street look.
I would compare the 'side pipe' look to modern import car guys putting cartoon-like rear wings and racing/parts stickers on their street cars. It just screams 'race boy'
