Yes, according to the Registry which I agree with for a number of reasons Kirkhams are modern current day "Cobras". In the 60s you had AC Cobras. Today you have Kirkham Cobras. No argument. As to the "replica" issue depends which definition of "replica" you are using.

1. Websters definition 2. SAACs definition or 3. the commonly understood meaning of replica as meant by Joe Public "not being an original"? Which one?

1. Shelbys are a "replica" based on the Websters definition. None of the others under this definition even rise to the level of being a "replica".
2. Shelby's are not replicas based on SAAC's definition.
3. They would be "replicas" based on the 3rd Joe Public meaning.

Again, the term "replica" and "kit" are unimportant to me and side shows. But to answer your question here you go.
