I am sure glad I sat out of this thread,I have to say reading it all at once,not being involved,well it looks silly and childish,of course I realize many of you guys know eachother ,so lots of it is just ribbing.
Why do so many threads turn into a shelby versus the world or an fe versus rocket engines ? I dont understand why everyone is constantly put into a position to defend his or her choice of cars,seems like a bunch of insecurity to me.To tell the truth,I think maybe we all take these things too seriously,we worry about the cars here more than the people,,that makes it shallow and cold,once again,seems like money ruins a good thing,if we all had beater cars,or no one here had a cobra,my guess is we would all get along,and stick to dicussing ideas and real life car related issues.
I am starting to feel defensive since I am buying a new csx4000 ,I dont like the feeling,and dont understand whyI should feel this way.
the real/replica/original thing kills me,it is easy to solve if you stick to the facts.
csx2/3000 ,"is it real ?" YES,is it original ? YES,
csx4/7000 ,is it Real ? YES {title says it,the same guy who signed off on the originals signed off on these,Carroll Shelby says it,and its his ball game,STILL}
csx4/7000 " Is it an ac cobra ?" NO,is it a shelby cobra ? YES,is it a Kit car ? NO,is it an original cobra ? NO
Obviously these are casual answers to casual questions,ask by people you may encounter at the store or gas station,I feel no need to educate every tom dick or harry on the history of cobras,it is also obvious if you were to be ask the same questions by a learned car enthusiast,or by an auction,vintage show ,track event,or shelby buff,and more detailed answer would be in order.
Carroll Shelby started this whole deal,so if he builds a 4 dr sedan with ground effects and the wheels that keep turning at stop lights,and calls it a Shelby cobra,it will be a shelby cobra,it wont be original,it wont have Dick Smiths butt prints in the seat,but a shelby cobra it is,,again,,I still dont understand why everyone is constantly put into a position to defend his choice of car.happy Holidays,,Tim
