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

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".

[rodneym]

Owners of what?

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.
Phallacy of analogy.
Not a wonderful phrase. Well, maybe in these parts...

And the debate doesn't need to keep going for CSX4/6's to command premiums, or big $$$.
Most owners don't set foot here.

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!

Joe,
So if an owner of a CSX4/6 is here on cc, it's because they don't "know exactly what they are"...and they have to "explain it" to the community?
Oh, boy.

Rodknock,
You have been sensitive lately, my friend. Ever since I painted the KMP.
That was a disparaging joke on the community at large, which I am a part of. Jeez.

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

Well, what have you and RodKnock been up to lately eh? I should have known once I had to explain a very simple reply. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck ... you get the idea

[rodneym]

Joe,
I know exactly what I have.
Do you know what you have?

LOL, a man looking for an argument from the git-go.

[rodneym]

It was a rhetorical question.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a suck ...

This has devolved into some uninteresting, confusing sh#t.

How was I to know, your earlier post implied otherwise -

Appreciate the edit which does change the tone.

Doesn't it always, that's why it's a sticky, consider it the forum dumpster.

What a waste of time this thread is.
A bunch of little girls here.

Well, that's a fairly sexist remark. Or am I being too sensitive?

For those saying it's been a waste of time, why you here?

Actually I am here as I have been following this thread for the entertainment value.

As I always suspected. The detractors are lost and confused. Admission now documented.



It is very simple to understand for most (except the nasty detractors present here in this "dumpster" who will never get it or refuse to acknowledge publicly they "get it"). The World Registry deals with the subject very logically and fairly based on the facts then and now and the law.

Anyway, I now return you those lost to their regularly scheduled programing.


For those that do understand that the current production Coras by SAI, while duplicating the original in shape and design are also in fact genuine Cobras of the current production class don't waste your breath. Most of the detractors here have their own agenda motivating fact twisting, mis citing statements of decisions as standing for something it does not and quoting out of context, launching personal attacks and name calling as if that advances their cause.

Yet comically many of these same detractors at the same time ride around in cars that are clearly not Shelby Cobras but adorn plates such as"66COBRA" but attack me as being misleading with my plate that is in fact attched to a genuine Shelby Cobra.

That tells you all you need to know.


Now to confirm my point sit back and the envy bees attack.

I'll pop back in a day or two for a laugh.
