For the record, and most people don't know this about my Cobra, my Kirkham isn't painted Chrome. It's actually polished aluminum. Keep that on the down low though. :cool: BTW, San Francisco just called. Mayor Ed Lee is pissed that you don't own a place in The City. :LOL: |
I see a pattern of historical inaccuracies and comments I don't appreciate.
Sure, you can call them whatever you want, but why go out of your way to call them "fakes" and "hotrods shaped like Cobras". Are you just trying to piss people off? Check your history, they started as race cars, that's why they look like that. Quote:

Maybe this will help: |

Yes, Kirkham does supply the aluminum bodies to Shelby for their continuation series (CSX4000/6000) and has for many years (mid-2000's approximately). But Kirkham isn't connected to the aluminum bodies used for Shelby's "Completion" Cobra's (CSX3000's) built in the 1990's, the subject of the OP. |

a quick recap of some of the bait used so far -
... need I say more? looking forward to the next cast to see what sucker bait is on the hook :LOL: |

These hot rods shaped like a Cobras are 60+ years technology. Who wants to drive today without a radio, cruise control, GPS, Nav systems, heated seats, power steering, automatics? If JB or Miley were driving and promoting these hot rods shaped like a Cobra, there would be a spike on sales. Go tell Corvette bosses that putting a stingray in a movie aimed at young adults, Captain America 2, doesn't fit with their sales demographics. gas engines cannot match electric torque. Go tell Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, BMW, Tesla that they wasting their money on electric powered cars. I don't own a "logictech" and you don't know anything about video games. If you did, u would have invested money into this industry. I play racing games because I don't want to sweat in a hot rod without AC or a roof. I love air conditioning too much. Last I checked, the majority of real cobras did not have side pipes. Your obsession with me is a bit... weird. best, nyg |

And come on, now, video games don't cut it. Simulators either. Come over for a ride and I'll give you an experience that will make you forget about a love doll, or whatever simulation you speak of ;) NYG, have you driven a Cobra? I was all set on a Ferrari, Maserati or a Lotus until I drove a Cobra. I haven't looked back at those cars since, unless it was in my rear view mirror. You owe it to yourself. |

Look, these hot rods are fantastic on the open road & wind in your hair experience but they are a sweat box in traffic. No roof, no AC, no cup holders, no radio, noisy, crappy seats, gas fumes in your face makes for a lousy ride. I'd like to return to my original question. In your view, did Carroll Shelby swindle the public with these Cobras from the 1990s? |

Radio? The music today sucks. You must listen to the symphony of your chimney-smelling sidepipes. Cup holders? Real men and women just put their coffee cups between their legs and drive. GPS/Navi? No iPhone huh? Anyway, real men and women don't need directions. They always know where they're going. It's a Zen thing. P/S? Come on, you know your flabby arms need some exercise. And Cruise Control? You know your flabby calves and weak tendons need the same help as your flabby arms. Heated seats? Your butt (gluts in trainer's talk) is your body's biggest muscle. Big muscles aren't wimps. They can take the chill. Automatic transmission? Real men and women don't flick buttons on a steering wheel or just let the car shift for itself. Think of shifting the transmission manually as mental exercise to ward off the onset of dementia. |

I wonder which one is going to win out, the gaming wonder or the armchair quarterback :LOL: |

I'd also recommend buying a Honda Odyssey. They come with a built-in vacuum and that's a really a nice option to have. I'm actually thinking of getting a built-in vacuum for my Kirkham, since I'm constantly getting donut crumbs and spilling coffee on the floor. **) :LOL: |

The phrase 'don't feed the trolls' would apply here. |
I'm waiting for the Google Cobra.
