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

As a "club" I expected better, a little self-policing early on, with a strict hand, would have likely mitigated what this thread has exposed. Originals are worth a mint and belong to a true collector's cache to enjoy at their own risk, replicas are what men of reasonable means can afford and enjoy at much lesser risk. There are only two classes of Shelby Cobra, those originals of 1962 -1967, and those that replicate the originals of the 1962 -1967.

All of us are the guardians of this FORUM and what we accept as legitimate, and what we reject as fallacy is up to us.

And you've been completely innocent in all this? You've done a fair share of name calling, probably more than Evan. Posting the same question over and over again does nothing but drive your post count up. Now you think you're a guardian of the forum?

If and when you ever finish your replica please post lots of pictures so we can see how many fake Cobra badges you have on it. Maybe you'll be one of those who puts on fake Shelby American manufacturer tags also. Cant wait to see it and start the criticism.
