Actually, if you really want to play semantics, you could call it a Modified AC ACE with an American V8 installed One of the reasons why SAI lost the trade dress issue was because it so closely resembled the AC ACE (which is what the original Cobra is based off of), that SAI could not state that it as it's own entity produced the original car/body shape (modified it yes, but did not invent it).
