Sorry to be a little late on this discussion....

Number one, I think most people here are getting too caught up in "the look." All these cars are FAKE. They have the idea,look,sound,but not the soul.

Remember the one true Cobra was a purpose built machine. Read some of the road test from the day. I believe a few of the descriptions were something like aluminium tightly drawn over its mechanicals. Me,personally find the JBL a sexy car. It has the purposeful look of the original and maybe a tad bit of the soul.

I think the replica community needs to get over itself and acknowledge that JBL has built a 21st century edition of the greatest car ever made. If Mr. Shelby had the technology the JBL is what he would have built, I'll bet you a Coke.....
