Time will tell whether I am right in my position.
I take my position not to offend anyone, or to peddle anything I don't find to be true but because I defend the facts as they exist today. I rely on only facts.
I also can't comment on what other CSX owners do or don't do. Don't care. I know one thing for sure... something motivated them to pay more for a Shelby Cobra as opposed to a replica of one. Whether they choose to defend their car is up to them. However, if they choose to be silent hoping to gain some "friendship" or "allegiance" here thats fine. Thats them. I don't compromise the facts in exchange for false allegiances and if being self depricating towards my Cobra is the price of friendship or being liked on CC candidly I'll pass. I already have enough REAL friends. Don't need false ones.
The "replica" dictionary definition arguement does not hold water. SAAC even dealt with this issue. I won't waste my time with it. Read the Registry. I agree with their position.
In the end, enjoy what you have but a part of this hobby is also about respecting what others have. That doesn't happen here much but I hang around to make sure at least one voice is speaking to the facts on these cars (Shelby Cobras).
Lets see who the future finds is correct.
My money's on me.
P.S. The GT350SR is a neat car. But like any enthusiast/collectible car, Shelby or not it can be bought at the wrong price and you can over pay for anything. Point in fact, the price of original Cobras and collectibles have gone up and down over the years. If you bought anything high and chose to sell in a low market you lose. Trick is to buy at the right price and sell at the right time. Economy now sucks. Its horrible out there. Everything just about is way way down. But if you have the money you can get some good buys which may in the future, (God willing this country will survive what we have in Washington), go up in value as the economy improves (again, God willing).
Takes care.
