Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

I have a feeling one particular "Ron" may also feel the same way, the time is ripe for a SAAC uprising Once I learned the scope of the registry's reach my immediate thought was owners of originals were seriously marginalized.

Well, SAAC can change the Registry if they choose, don't really care, but it doesn't change the fact that the Continuation Shelbys are genuine Shelby Cobras. The current Registry recognizes the obvious and is factually correct. So they would have to basically say, hey we were all wrong and explain why they were wrong. fine if they want to lose credibility by denying reality.

They may make original owners happy and non Shelby owners happy who will pile on and then swear allegiance to the Registry and then cite it non stop but it will alienate a lot of other members who own current gen Shelbys. Owners of originals shouldn't feel marginalized. They own originals. Clearly the brass ring. They just want to make sure no one else is recognized as owning genuine Cobras. Petty and selfish.

In the end, my title clearly says what it is and so does my id chassis plate. I don't need anyone else or any other club or organization to tell me what it is. The Registry deciding my car isn't a Shelby Cobra would be to deny the obvious facts.Just saying the 40th World Registry has it correct and fairly and logically dealt with the issue.
