Can we all agree on this?

CSX 2000,3000 series cars are real Shelby cobras AND original Shelby cobras.

CSX 4000+ (all the continuation cars) are Real Shelby cobras but NOT original Shelby cobras. Though they can also be considered a replica of the original cobras.

SPF- Are neither real nor original Shelby cobras. "Built under license by Shelby American" does not qualify them as a real Shelby cobra. Thus, they are a replica.

All the rest- Are replicas (meant to include tribute, clones, kit cars, etc.).

So, when asked by a spectator if your car is "REAL", we all agree that they are really asking if your car is an ORIGINAL Shelby cobra.

Now, either answer yes or no based on the definitions above, make up some smart assed reply or out and out lie. It's not demeaning to own a replica, though some of you seem to think it is.

We all would rather own an original, but the majority of us have lives to live that require most of our money. So owning a replica is as close as we're going to get. There's no shame in owning a replica unless you are ashamed to own one. The public doesn't think any less of you because you can't afford a million dollar car. They can't either. You still have a car that they admire.

So, if you are ashamed to own a cobra replica, then sell it to someone who will take pride in owning it and get something you will be proud to drive. And quit the bickering, smart assed replies and lying to the public. You (the few) make the rest of us look bad.

Once again, what do I know? I don't even own a real Shelby cobra!
