I chose my words very carefully, in the post of mine you quoted. The key word in my post was "serious venue," referring to racing series. I don't regard the FFR-sponsored spec racing class a "serious venue." Vintage racing or open tracking are not a "serious venues" either.
Fun, yes. Serious venue, no.
Having said that, at least the spec FFRs are prepped for the track in some regard, with an awful lot of modern safety equipment not seen in any original of the day. 99% of Cobra replicas are not similarly-equipped. Moreover, I don't think you can come close to saying those cars have any similarity to period-correct Cobras.
