Hmmm..... now we're getting somewhere.

Well if blasphemery in creating fakeydooery is king, I win. There is no disguising my 540BBC. In fact, my side badges have a polished brass bowtie glued over the FORD lettering. Further, the only Ford part on my car is the, wait for it... steering column, but it is from an F-600 truck! I think we are getting somewhere now...

Still, I have to admire their work. Imitation is a form of flattery right?

Yes, true. However, one could easily argue the more aesthetically accurate the fake the more deceiving and therefore the more disingenuous it is therefore higher in the fakeydoo pecking order but is being higher in the pecking order better when judging fakeyness?

Oh my. This is confusing.:confused:

I would propose that in keeping with the fakeydoo concept, the membership and rules should be just as fake, therefore warranting no clarification in the fake eye of the fake beholder.
Sounds like a plan to me, my you are a clever one ...I get it! this way all your cars can be totally fake and you guys can all have 100 point fakeydoos under your point system. This also renders the point system you guys have totally fake since you all can't win first place in reality meaning that's a fake result...Which means that your cars aren't really equally fake again but that's a fake result since one could argue that fakes are equal by definition so you all win again...and round and round you go and the circle jerk never ends!

Perfect!

There's bad fakes and bad fakes... that white one at Gateway is a bad fake, but a 540BBC would make for one bad fake. Gotta love the English language - we can have all sorts of fun.

Got it...and that's what makes it a really good fake and fakeyer than a "good" fake.

I must say that this clever terminology (which allows each of you to have equal fakes to each other while simultaneously better than the other fakeydoo owner's fake) and catchy new terminology you guys have adopted and drilled into the public psyche and lexicon most effectively and proudly using the "world's" largest and most popular web site dedicated to as we now know them "fake" Cobras and real Cobras was genius! Your intrepid assiduous efforts to truly identify your fake Cobras for what they actually are really clearly sets them apart and most effectively does cast them in their true light as opposed to the term "replica". Love how you guys have "manned up" on this issue. :) You guys have really carried out and championed the mission of the OP.

Carry on and keep up the great work! :)

P.S.

In the spirit of assisting a worthy cause I pledge to refer to your cars as "fakeydoos" at all times here and elsewhere wherever I go. Lord knows you guys deserve the help.

May I offer up a "compromise" to this most perplexing conundrum of judging fakeydoos. Seems to me the fakeydoo mission is threefold -

1. You have something that meets the true "spirit" of why these cars were built, it hauls ass and handles. The more it hauls ass and handles the more points.
2. Your fakeydoo's outward appearance from a distance should look close enough to an 'original' to draw any spectator in. The closer to the original you look, the more points you get.
3. Upon closer inspection (engine, cockpit, etc), the spectator reaction should separate the purist from casual Joe immediately. You are only interested in the purist's reaction, the more violent the more points you get. (Example: What an abomination!)

To me a perfect 100 point fakeydoo would be CCRsAC's FFR with ItBites 540 BBC under the hood hooked up to a SuperMatic 4L85-E auto. It just doesn't get any better than that :)

By the way, the real one is truly superb - an accomplished fauxbra if I ever saw one.

... and the way you will be able to tell (from pictures) the fake fake apart from the real fake is the fake fake is missing the gas cap shield the real fake has, utter genius :)

...as i said I'm not done yet (with both of them);):D. I have to make a mold for the raydot mirrors too.
