Seeing how there is a replica builder by the name "Exact", I would venture to say it falls in the existing SAAC category ...
Kit Car or Replica: Any Car with a body which approximates the original Cobra shape, using any kind frame, suspension, brakes or driveline.

Bingo.

4pipes: "re-created Cobra" hits the nail on the head but only if it's a Shelby 3d printer (or one of the other printer categories set out in the Registry that meets the criteria as a "Cobra". Bingo for you too. . What some here are struggling to grasp (or refuse to accept based on personal opinion...and you know what they say about opinions?) is that the term "Cobra" is a term of art as applied to these cars. The fact that the term "Cobra" is a term of art was explained by me before. The Registry explains it too.

Actually, the guys having fun on the "My fake is fakyer than your fake" got it exactly right! No argument from me. Kudos to them too. However, they all win first place since they're all equally fake. I, however, would refer to their cars as SAAC does, ie "replicas". It just sounds better to me. Oh well, it's their cars. Whatever, floats their boats. If they really want to adopt that term here and for use in public I'm good with that. Who am I to disagree? It is technically accurate after all. Yeah, I'm good with that.

Cheers.
