Actually, it always seems to go like this with me...
Car Show Attendee: Is that a real Cobra?
Me: Yes (both of us staring at the EFI on top of the LS engine)
Car Show Attendee: Nice! I had a Cobra many years ago! It had a 426 Side Oiler Hemi in it!
Me: Wow! I bet that was powerful!
Car Show Attendee: Yeah...it did 250 MPH.
Me: Off a cliff?
Honestly, that is just about how the conversations go. |

You see I have a BS meter. If I hear BS, then I'll just confront people with the BS. What do I care? If someone claims they have an accurate replica with a fiberglass body, then I'll just let them know they're either delusional or pathological liar. 
My other alternative to the conversation is to just walk away from the conversation while the "most accurate replica" owner is in mid-sentence. I'm becoming a curmudgeon. |

So this is your idea of a "most accurate replica": Aluminum Cobra

I'm sure if we cared to discuss their version of the Cobra again, in terms of authenticity, seaming, chassis, delivery schedule, blah, blah, blah, and other pluses and minuses, we'd be fine. But honestly, who cares to discuss them at all.
IIRC, Jamo thought the respondent from the company was less than desirable in terms of being a member here. |
