Now jump forward and read a blurb. Nowhere is KIT CAR used! Do a search.

Ralphy/AKA 7th Degree Poser

Ralphy: You truly are struggling with this. This is not rocket science.,

Here's what SAAC is saying:

"So, to our way of think We now find that as the value of Cobras and Shelbys continues to appreciate, the cars have been priced beyond the means of some people who still want to be SAAC members. These people have opted to own Cobra replicas, Shelby look-alikes and other Ford performance cars of which there is presently no shortage. The national club is happy to have these people as participating members, and they add a lot to the club. We like to think of them as potential Cobra or Shelby owners. However, they should not expect that we will suddenly change the club’s policy to include cars outside of our purview as equal partners to Cobras and Shelbys.

As far as CSX4000 and CSX7000 cars are concerned, SAAC accepts these cars as genuine Shelby American Cobras (as opposed to "original" Shelby American Cobras). The definition we use to identify an original Cobra is one which was, 1) built between 1961 and 1968, 2) at the direction of and under contract from Carroll Shelby/Shelby American Inc., and 3) sold by Shelby American or one of its franchised dealers. The only difference between original Cobras and CSX4000 and CSX7000 cars is the time frame in which they were built (1). However, all three factors separate Shelby’s current cars from all the rest of the Cobra replicas, AC MK IVs, COB/COX continuation cars, etc. So, to our way of thinking, the current crop of Cobras are genuine but are not original."




Ralphy, you need to stop injecting your own spin to what SAAC said. The link you posted explains their position most clearly and succinctly. Not hard to understand. They did not add "Also not Real" you did. How did you calculate
7th degree? I know how you figure the poser part but how did you come up with 7th degree or is that number like the rest of what you been saying, just pulled out of arse?

Just get me the calculation. Thanks.


Cheers.
