Honestly, right now, I don't care who gets my point or who doesn't. I'm not like Patrick and don't intend to go 20+ pages arguing about a single letter of a word. I know you enjoy that sort of thing. I've got more important things to do.

I explained my thoughts on the matter. I'm done.

If you're going to post an opinion, in this case attempting to define what is or isn't a replica versus a kit car, then you've got to expect people to disagree with it. That's the Internet.

FFR is a kit and, magically, when they're finished, they're a Cobra replica. Holy cow! That's amazing! By SAAC's definition of a replica/kit car and by the State of California, as with many other states.

ERA's can be purchased as a kit too, any many customers build their own ERA's. There are some actual build threads in the ERA Forum. Holy cow! Amazing! In fact, in the early days of Shelby and Kirkham producing replicas, they also sold their cars as kits. "It's all in the Registry."

But hey, you've got an opinion, which you're entitled to have. In my view, whether you own a Cobra that came in pieces and/or dropped a dune buggy engine in it, it's still a Cobra replica and started as a kit car.
