We have to thicken our skin a little if we're driving anything but a CSX2/3.

I wonder if Evan had a different Cobra, chassis # POS1234, but had the same exact opinion...would people love to go at it with him? Then again, something tells me if he owned CSX3xxx, he would still love to argue .

I don't mean to get all 'Mr. Brady' here, but the incessant knocking him down is somewhat of a transparent, self fulfilling prophecy steeped in insecurity. I don't see a CSX4/6/7/8/9 owner going at it with him, myself included. Because we're on the same side? No. My opinion hasn't changed since I owned an SPF 3 Cobras ago. His opinion doesn't raise my Cobra(s), and my opinion doesn't lower his.

I think everyone should just agree with Evan's argument. All problems and hard feelings would then go away, and nothing would really change anyway. C'mon, it's not like he's driving a beige ERA or something....

He's already agreed that it's a replica. So I'm good.

Although there came a time when he should have, his diatribe on your 427Sn8k plate was about as lame as they come.

I can't tell if your comments are directed towards me, but I'm NOT "incessantly knocking him down" aka personal attacks.

If Evan owned a CSX2000 or CSX3000 from the 1960's, then there would be no discussions at all, because he would own a real genuine original Shelby Cobra. Period. But for those 1,000 cars built 50 years ago, every other Cobra produced subsequently, are replicas, clones, including those being built by a company called Shelby, from 1996-present.

Some people at SAAC, likely over the uproar of many, decided to add the Shelby replicas, Shelby decided to call them "Continuation Series" for marketing purposes, because "true replica" wouldn't sell well, and then more recently added Kirkham Cobras too.

Not sure how that's a personal attack or "incessantly knocking him down" since I own a Kirkham and I think it should be kicked out of the Registry as well. Am I knocking myself down too? My objection is about semantics of the words "real", "genuine" or whatever adjective du jour. If anything, he thinks he attacked me by labeling me a "liberal."
