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

Dream on, Evan.

Hey, I don't have to dream. Its right in the Registry. Maybe you need to dream about a new Registry saying something you want it to say.

As far as being unable to reason with potatoes,...Yeah, exactly that why I gave up on Rodknock.

It's also futile to reason with an obfuscator and "curator" with an axe to grind based on a bias against something. My axe is grinding in of the Registry statements published by your club.

And if you think I'm a potato you need to start "educating" all your buddies at SAAC on the Registry committee since based on the statements all through your clubs Registry acknowledging the current production Shelbys as authentic Cobras and not "replicas or Kits" and their Web Site statements doing the same since 2004 and now seems like you've got a lot of potatoes running around on that Registry committee.

Dream of a new Registry.

You mean it's all there in the Registry, which uses terms like "Cobra-like" and "true replica"? That Registry?

You know what they say, you are what you eat. And since I don't eat potatoes, then I can't be one.

You gave up on me? I'll "wear it" as a badge of honor.

Dream of a new Registry.

Coming to Amazon.com around 2018. The 5th Edition of Registry will remove all replicas. Yea!

Oh, and does the current SAAC website state any words like "authentic", "real" or "genuine" as it relates to the Shelby replicas? Nope. Not there anymore. And the Registry is quite clear about those words "Cobra-like" and "true replica."

Different company, different parts, different era. Shall we "call a spade a spade?"

Off topic but do vintage racing events at Goodwood or Monterey allow CSX 4000s or kirkham cobras to compete?
