How about an ad published in Kit Car in May 2000 front back cover. It was copyrighted in 1998.

Most important lines.

1. Imagine an Original Ace rolling off the container ship, complete except for engine and transmission, waiting for a Ford V8 to be shoehorned under the hood, transforming it into the legendary Cobra. That is precisely how the Superformance 427S/C’s are shipped to this country, and how they are delivered to you.

Does that say SPF is a Cobra? It says it is shipped to the US the same way the Cobra was shipped in the 1960’s.

2. Superformance 427 S/C’s are meticulously engineered and crafted REPRODUCTIONS of the original, fully assembled and complete, except for engine and transmission….We love the legend as much as you do, and have gone to great lengths to build the most accurate and highest quality REPLICARS in the world.

Superformance admitted that they were building reproduction replicars not Cobras.

3. SPF logo included the phrase:

Superformance
Complete replicars

Disclaimer stated:

Cobra is a registered trademark. Superformance is not connected to the holder of that trademark.

Where exactly did Superformance claim to make a Cobra? If CSX 4000 is not a replica why would they get insulted if Superformance claimed to make the most accurate and highest quality replica?
