I resigned myself to the conclusion that you believe this "intellectual" wank to be a sport... So thought heck... I'll play.

I'm here to piss on your parade, and ensure the average Joe gets the "best" right answer.

Sorry, I don't endorse yours...

If I were the op with an SPF. My answer would be, as stated before: it's a "Superformance cobra" (as opposed to. A Superformance GT40, or other...).
End of story.

Dimis: You are too funny!

Your not pissing my parade. Nope. Your pissing on SAAC and the Registry and I agree as such you are clearly using the wrong head in this discussion.

If you wanted to ensure the average Joe gets right information you would refer him to the World Registry of Cobras and GT40s or provide him the information in the Registry unless you know more than they.

Saying a SPF is A "Supraformance Cobra" is misleading. It is not a "Cobra". Not by a long shot. It is a "Cobra replica". Without the qualifier "replica" in the description you aren't giving the average Joe the right answer you are misinforming him any way you slice it.

Real1, I notice that you refer to Superformance as Supraformance. Just curious if that's intentional or not, lol.

To the person that started this thread my advice is to just keep it simple. They ask is that an original? Just smile and say "no". If they want to know more they will ask a follow-up question.

I was out with our "Cobra" Club a few weeks ago and a car full of people pulled up beside me and asked that same question. Fortunately, Bob P was behind me driving his original, so I was able point and tell them that his was the real thing. That was fun to see them all instantly rubberneck looking back.

Personally, I don't even like calling mine a "Replica", I'm not trying to replicate one. I'm too fond of customizing. I'm still going to try and remember that Fakeydoo answer though, lol. Cheers.

All I know is It would upset me to own a real sixties CSX Cobra with all the is it real questions !

Imagine owning a CSX 3000 series and constantly being asked that question !

And of course even the educated few not believing you!

I'm just glad I own a real Kirkham / 1965 Shelby cause the rego label says so!

Soul.
