Mitigating this issue, at least for me, is the reduction in price/more choices due to the increased competition.
Thoughts?

Jordan,
I understand your concerns but really they are still quite a rarity.
I saw my first Cobra in 1964 and 38 years later I saw my second one...(1st one was a real one) Didn't even know they existed as a replica.
In this area you could probably pull as many as twenty Cobras together on a weeks notice.. However, you'll almost never see another one while you're just driving around.
I had the same concerns you did about the rarity but they never cease to draw a crowd...
For me it's a great body style with an inordinate amount of HP.
Why should I be the only one to enjoy it... Plus it's a great community: the Cobra owners... The more the merrier...
