If it WERE an "original real Cobra", there would be nothing "wrong" to point out! And I forgot to mention that the dash layout, switches and instruments are a complete fantasy. Why, oh, why???

Because it was/is a former "race" car and many were modified to suit the drivers needs, plus fenders modified, holes cut into hoods, different bumpers.etc.etc.
Bottom line it is a real Cobra something that absolutely no
"correct" replica will never be, that's why.
The silliest thing at any car show are replica owners arguing over which replica is more correct. Why oh why???
BTW, you got the wrong engine in your replica.

"Modified" doesn't begin to describe what this car is. It is now replica of 1964 competition car that bears absolutely no resemblance to what it looked like before the so-called restoration: I've seen pictures of it. It would have certainly been possible to duplicate this car from its unmolested days. Then it could very easily, and fairly, be called correct.
As for my car's engine, I love everything about it. And it is a thousand times more "correct" than what is in that car.

Your missing the point that car is real yours will never be.
Yours is just a kit car or like some like to say PSB (not aluminum)
. You have some nerve critiquing somebody's real Cobra when all you own is a replica.
If it makes you feel any better your not alone as there seems to be a lot of guys out there like you.
Fortunately not many of them own real Cobras.

My car is just as "real" as his. If I were to ever own an original Cobra, it would be a car like CSX2557, not a fantasy recreation backed up by a "piece of paper".
And who the hell are you to suggest that the amount of money I choose to spend on toys determines whether or not I'm entitled to have and express an opinion? You, sir, are a moron.

Those who say that the First Amendment shouldn't apply to another because they don't spend enough money deserve to be called names, or worse.

BTW, 2009 has a far more robust race history than 2557
