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

Phallacy of analogy, Rodknock. Not the same.

Joe,
Is there an argument in there?

I'll disagree with your opinion, regardless of that wonderful phrase "Phallacy of analogy." I say it's similar. Replica but legal.

Safir licenses SPF, so they can make a 'legal' GT40. It is not Safir's product, though.

SAI doesn't license HiTech to make a Cobra. They use HiTech as a supplier, where they take the roller and 'bless' it themselves.

Safir could do the same but they don't.
If SAI wanted less to do with Cobras, they could do what Safir does.

Not the same.

Not a wonderful phrase. Well, maybe in these parts...

Rodney, quite insulting, but I'll let it go. Not quite sure why CSX owners have to insult others.

I understood the first time. but thank you for re-explaining it. A Shelby Cobra can be legally called a Shelby Cobra, but we all know it's a replica. Says so in the Registry.

Kirkham completely builds the 50th Anniversary Shelby Cobra for SAI, so what's really the's f'ing difference in reality. Safir licenses, someone else builds, it's still a GT40 replica. Kirkham builds a Shelby Cobra, and other than some paperwork, it's still a replica.

Who says they're not replicas?
Even Evan says they're replicas!

Actually in a fleeting moment of lucidity he did, and I do mean fleeting moment, his post today using the hit & run approach

None, pretty straight forward I thought. 'Most owners don't set foot here' because they "know exactly what they are" and don't have to "explain it".
