How do you handle the questions?

And the debate rages on!

Frankly, trying to change the beliefs and attitudes of strangers is a waste of time. If they really mattered to me, they would be friends. Like it or not, the term kit is here to stay. If someone asks and then reacts negatively, that's their issue to own, not mine. If they are interested, I will spend the time to explain what is behind the term kit. They just might learn something or even become a friend. We waste way too much time worrying about what people that don't really matter to us think.

I agree, its a waste of time, I doubt that anyone who asks could actually afford an original anyway.

When asked at a local car gathering or in a restaurant parking lot if it is a "real" Cobra I often reply. "Well lets see, if it were a real S/C 427 Cobra it would be one of 31 made and worth over a million bucks. So what do you think?" This usually gets a good natured laugh, but one time I did hear the local expert tell his buddy that he knew it was a real one because it wasn't all shiney and new like those fakes are.

I don't mind the inquiring minds of the non Cobra public but do find Cobra snobbery among different Cobra kit, replica, clone, fake owners to be a real turn off.
