This is a perfect example of why this subject will never die... because there are more than one views on it.

I do agree that there are those here that purposely get these debates going, simply for entertainment. I also agree that there are those here that truely see new Shelby Cobras as just another replica. And then there are those here who feel the cars are legit Shelby Cobras. On top of that, you've got different WAYS of promoting, or arguing, each view.

Dispite people who want to say otherwise, new Shelby Cobras, are real Shelby Cobras. You can spin the terminology anyway you'd like to benefit your side of the debate, but that will only change the outcome in your own mind.

This has nothing to do with "originals" either. We're not talking about people passing new Cobras off as originals here, we're talking about discrediting new Shelby Cobras, and their place in the registry.

The fact is, Shelby sold Cobras. Shelby stopped selling Cobras. Shelby started selling Cobras again. Plain and simple. They are new, real, Shelby Cobras. Many auto makers stop making certain models of cars, and then start making them years later. Are they fakes? Are they reproductions? No. They are new cars made in a different period in time.

In one of these debates a while back, I asked any one of the CSX "discreditors" to walk up to Carroll and tell him to his face that his new Shelby Cobras are fake and not real Cobras. I'm still waiting on that one.

And for those of you who like to tag certain people here in manners based on their views or what kind of car they own, my views are not CSX-elitist. I felt this same way when I owned my FFR, and then again when I owned my KMP. I own a CSX because I wanted a CSX. I don't think my car is better than anyone else's. I don't think I am better than anyone else because I own a CSX.
