The general public that doesn't know Chit from shinola why should I be concerned about what they think. Explain it to me.

I understand your 1st point, but I don't understand why I have to explain to you why you should be concerned with the general public at large, the people who know absolutely nothing about SAAC or Shelby Cobras. I never brought it up, you did, and then you further defined your remark.
My point is/was that Mr. Comer is considered an expert on the marque for the following reasons:
1. he owns and has owned many Shelbys including, but not limited to, Mustangs and Cobras,
2. he wrote a book on Shelbys,
3. he vintage races Shelbys,
4. he has a longtime business that buys and sells Shelbys, as well as other sportscars and musclecars,
5. he writes for what I believe is the premier "auction results" magazine.
Thus, he would be on the ground, in the crowd, talking to these folks at these premier auction events around the country. These "auction buyers and sellers,"
THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, "have begun to clearly view CSX continuation Cobras as authentic Shelby Cobras and more then mere "replicas."
You stated this, as fact, when Mr. Comer, the expert and person who attends these events wrote an article that states w/o ambiguity that the CSX and Kirkham, along with every other Cobra manufacturer (non CSX2000 & CSX3000), are replicas.
I don't think your original statement is valid. There are those knowledgable people that think it is more than a mere replica and there are those knowledgable people that think that they are a replica.
EDIT: And please don't quote the SAAC Registry. I'm NOT talking about SAAC's definition.
