Ok, now my 2 cents worth. Evan, ( Real One ) has a legitimate Real Shelby Cobra as Shelby is the only person that Ford has authorized to use the Cobra name so far as I know. As for the semantics of whether it is a real REPLICA or a continuation Cobra, I don't think that is really important. So far as the body style goes, it is a replica of the originals, but the few that I have seen are much improved over the originals and therefore aren't true REPLICA's. The Continuation is a continuation of the car he made in the 60s with modern technology and is in fact a superior car. I know that if I could afford one, I would be definately looking at them and that is not to put down any other brand. But living in this republic, I figure any new car would cost about $450,000 dollars. The $60 to $100K for the completed car and the rest to buy a place and move to another state so I could register it. Real One has made some posts in the past that sort of came off as the I'm better than you because I have a Shelby attitude, but I really doubt if that was the real intent of the posts. Besides that he keeps things interesting. If we were to go there, then the only people in this club that would have a right to those type feelings are the ones that own the original Shelby Cobras. So be it a REPLICA or continuation, I like the new Shelby Cobras and would love to have one.

As for Casaleenie, watch out for that other shoe. I know he said no, but wait a week before you believe that. Then it will probably be a boot.
