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

No envy here whatsoever. I have so much fun driving my car (over 20,000 miles so far) that if I never got to drive it again I already got my money's worth!
Look, Evan is just a strange person. I wonder how many miles he has driven his car?
In my opinion they are worth ZERO unless driven
ps. a glass Shelby is a Superformance. period

Superformance has nothing to do with a fiberglass Shelby. Do some research.

They are made in the same factory in South Africa, how do I know, I have been there, so they do...I know some were made in Mexico that's why it's funny when Evan thinks a fiberglass Shelby is REAL...

Same factory but nothing else in common. Have you ever looked at both chassis? This has been covered many times in other threads.

You obviously lack knowledge of the Registry and the different classifications of original Cobras no less continuation Cobras. I certainly won't waste my time educating you so you understand my clear but subtle point and parallel. I let you just "wonder" about it or in your case most likely not as it would take too much effort on your part. Stumble along.

If you would read all the threads, you would see where this was a quote from one of your cohorts who said the 2 had nothing in common, well that is 100% false, they are both made in South Africa at Hi-Tech and they are both glass, so you tell me how I don't know my ****...I have owned a Superfromance as well as own a Kirkham, so enlighten me how you know more about the SPF than me...

Because they're made in the same factory and both are fiberglass they're the same thing? Seriously, that's the best you've got? How about the fact one has a round tube frame and the othe other has a square tube frame? Still the same? So I guess Evan's car is the same as an original because they're both made of aluminum. Wait a minute, so is yours. Congratulations, your car is the same as an original Cobra.

Again, the original quote said a Shelby glass and an SPF glass car have nothing in common, and I pleasantly pointed out they are both made in the same factory and they are both made of the same glass, am I wrong, no, and, Thank you...so they have 2 things in common for those that can't add...

I've read some of the "posts" and some of the "threads". I confess I don't read them all for various reasons. Don't need to. The facts, law and Registry are clear. Your posts are many times not read due to nastiness and personal insults and as they contain little more.

The post above I did look at and since it was mild compared to your usual 3rd grade temper tantrums so I'll respond.

I'm sure you know all about SPF and Kirkham. And? Your point is???? Once again you didn't read or perhaps understand what I was saying. Epidemic around here for some. With others its refusal to accept basic simple facts, law and read the Registry.

Here, since you weren't that nasty I'll give you some help and a hint you on the subject I was discussing. Turn to page 30 of the 40th Edition of the World Registry of Cobras & GT40s. See if you can see a parallel between some original Cobras and the manufacturing of current production Cobras as to the glass Shelbys.

If...IF, your not nasty and seem to be putting in honest effort I'll help.



P.S. Did you know that AC had different subcontractors doing panel beating?

They are made in the same place.
Yes I am aware of the differences. The SPF actually drives nicer
