Argo 1: Why the hostility? Just stating the facts. Sour grapes suck. Shame on you. Sad. Enjoy your SPF replica. I'll enjoy my Shelby Cobra.

BTW: The 427 was Shelby's/Miles/Arning design. Not AC's. Didn't you know that???? Guess not! So before you call others dipsh!ts (which I suppose makes lowly persons feel better) make sure you know your facts first so you don't end up looking like a...well....dipsh!t.

Further what SPF did was to copy the look of the Shelby Cobra. Its just that simple. If you think anything else your just kidding yourself.

I had no idea why you built your SPF nor do I care so its not that I forgot. You profess to have bought your SPF faux pas Cobra solely because of its ass kicking horsepower and not because of its replication of one of the most famous performance cars of all times. I'm not buying that line. Sell it and buy a Lister, Lotus any of the other cars that will offer similar performance.

Nah. You bought the SPF also because of its terrific looks because it replicate one of the most awesome looking cars of all time. Be honest.

CSX envy is a terrible thing. Only two cures. Accepting the facts or buying a Shelby.

Chaplin: Yes. The CSX 4000 are "replica" of the original by virtue of the fact they fit the techincal definition as found in the dictionary. They are exactly the same as the first series ie. CSX 3000's and come from the same person who offered the original. In order to be the exact same as the original CSX they must by necessity replicate it. Agreed.

The difference is, however, while the CSX 4000's are exact reproductions or replicas replicas of the 3000's as they would have to be to be the same as the original they are also REAL Cobras. They are Cobras of the second series which are exactly the same as the first.

So in the end they are replicas which are REAL Cobras as opposed to say...a SPF replica which is not a Cobra but a superficial facsimile of a Cobra. A pretend Cobra if you will. (Sorry Argo 1. The truth hurts.)

I point out the above not to be condesending. I'm just stating the facts. If anyone thinks otherwise all I can say is get over it.
