Yes, yes. Context is important. Ned was speaking about all Shelby replicas, not just the 3000 "resurrection" Cobras. However, the 3000 "resurrection" Cobras are actually higher on the old Shelby food chain than your 4000 series car with all those NOS/OEM parts and stuff. BUT, they're all replicas. Not the same company, not the same parts, not the same employees and made 50 years after the original production run. Ned is considered an expert and he has an opinion, just like all the other experts at SAAC.
