It's REAL simple -
FFR sells row boats
BDR sells row boats
SPF sells row boats
Kirkham sells row boats
Shelby buys Kirkham row boats
Shelby slaps a "dinghy" sticker on the Kirkham row boats
Shelby sells the Kirkham row boat as a dinghy for thousands more
Evan thinks his "dinghy" is not a row boat because of the dinghy sticker

He has to justify overspending for a rebadged Kirkham somehow!

You know this belittling and name calling by this a-hole Johnny come lately as well as others here has really become such a waste of bandwidth. Jamo is just as much to blame for letting this crap continue... ought to be ashamed of himself.
I have seen for a long time here on this forum the CSX envy that many have here... biased toward Kirkham and anti Shelby. Who cares? I'm done with this place... good riddance!

While I chose not to buy a Shelby Cobra replica, and buy a Kirkham Cobra replica, I'm not biased against Shelby Cobras. I love the the 998 and we cherish them. But the rest of us just have kit cars, because, well, they all copy to varying degrees the 998.
While the CSX 4000/6000/7000/8000 are great replicas, both alloy and fiberglass (though the 998 are all alloy), I think calling them "genuine," "authentic," or "real" not only cheapens the AC/Shelby legacy, but also defies simple logic. That's all.

CSX4815: I agree 100% with you and so do many many others including many many Shelby owners who have pm'd me.
Just trying to keep the facts, law and info in the Registry in front of the flotsam and jetsam from the sour grapes gang in case anyone is researching the issue.

I have a question. Do any of those "many many Shelby owners" own one of the 998?
Of course, I know of at least one owner of those precious 998 who agrees with me.  But I'm sure there are many many others.

I wish you actually had a Real Cobra. Then we would not have endure any of this.

Evan, careful what you wish for... I somewhat suspect a poll would not bode well for your position. Just sayin'

Well that's a bit of a shame... Sorry you feel that way.
But just a thought... With a measly 120-odd posts in 10 years, do you think you'll be missed?

Not the point at all. Is that what you think is important? Really?

Kirkham has nothing to do with the majority of the continuation Cobras - the fiberglass ones.
Yes, I know there were no fiberglass originals.
