No bubble bursted here. The photo shoot as I understand was for original cars only. 2000 & 3000 series. Clearly appropriate.

There clearly is a distinction between the original CSX's and the new CSX's. No one can argue with that. One series are the vintage Shelby's or "original" the others are not vintage nor original.

Its certainly understandable why owners of original cars want to maintain that distinction and limit membership to that truly limited and exclusive club. Originals are also much more expensive than the new CSX's. There clearly is a limited "Club" as to originals.

I think that keeping the distinction between the originals and the new CSX's is fair for many reasons.

SAAC while making the distinction between the original and new Cobras also clearly makes a distinction between "Cobras" both new and original and "Cobra replicas".

Its important to note that both the original CSX and the new CSX make the "cut" as far as being consider a REAL Cobra by SAAC (and legally). All the others don't.

This factor too might be considered when weighing the price differences.

One day in the near future there may be a limited photo shoot at SAAC for second generation Cobras only. No originals allowed!

Just a thought.
