My question is when you see a Cobra and you just want to politely ask what kind it is, meaning SPF, ERA, Back-draft etc how do you ask?

While I can identify some I am not good at identifying all of the other manufactures. I see one and want to strike up a conversation with a fellow enthusiast that I don't know.

I was slightly embarrassed once when I kept looking over this car. It looked so spot on and no way was I going to ask "is it real", so I said, who made it. Turns out it was a CSX from the 60's. I just wasn't expecting that. Very cool guy and we visited for some time.

For me, I now generally say, I have a Superformance, what is yours? Note embarrassing when the answer is a CSX from the 60's
Beautiful car, what can you tell me about it has always worked for me.
