Argo: You may behave as you wish in this club (up to a point before you are collared by a moderator). Many of us here have been here for a long time and we know each other and understand when things are heated or just kidding around. You can take my suggestion or leave it. Thats up to you. Just giving you the benefit of my experience should you choose to follow it.

My point is comments such as the "running into the wall" thing are not necessary. They make you look bad and when you start to look bad you start to alienate guys here. Case in point, "Corvetteman". When you start to alienate too many guys here you then have less fun here and spend less time talking about the hobby and more time exchanging bull$hit barbs with others.

If you want to look bad and don't care, believe me its A-OK with me.

I have differences with some guys here (believe it or not) but I'm still friendly with them. Its a hobby. Thats all it is. It should never cross the line to get personal. No one likes that. I bet you wouldn't either.

On the subject. Actually we agree. The CSX 4000's are a reproduction of the original. An exact one at that. My point is that while they are replicas because they are exact clones of the original, resurrected if you will they differ from the others not only because they are exactly like the original in every detail and part but because they are also COBRAs. No other is a genuine Cobra, factually or legally. Only the CSX.

All this is not said in an effort to make "mine" better than yours. Its just stating the clear facts about my car or any CSX. What is better to each of us is subjective. Some guys made a conscious decision that they didn't want a Shelby for their own reason.

It never ceases to amaze me how some (not all) guys always equate stating factual information about the CSX by their owners, which is 99% of the time in response to someones question like in this thread to saying "mine is better than yours". My only explanation for this reaction has to be some sort of hang up related to an inferiority complex about their car or a need to make themselve feel better by knocking what they don't have.

To me "better" meant having a genuine Cobra. Second series 427 Cobra although not "original" but REAL nonetheless. To me it was important to have the Cobra name, the Cobra pedigree and the Shelby heritage and the recoginition of SAAC as a Cobra. To you better may mean more horse power or a square tube chasis or whatever. You make your choices I'll make mine.
