Continuation CSX a "Kit car"?

I am glad to hear that, because I really don't try to come off as an ass about it. I know what my car is, and that's important to ME. I like my car for what it is, and that's why I own it. I respect other people for the cars they own, and I do NOT feel that I am better than anyone, or that my car is better than anyone else's, just because it's a CSX. It's the car I wanted and I just would like people to show the same respect that I do towards them. I have owned both an FFR and a Kirkham, which is about as extreme to both ends of the replica market as you can get. I worked my way to the CSX because it's the car I really wanted. Along the way, I learned a lot from both companies and have a great respect for all brands and owners.

It's nice to know so many people DO get it. There will always be those who do not.

Yup. I agree with Sal. The Continuations by definition are replicas of the original series. Never disputed that fact, BUT as Sal pointed out when asked if a Continuation series is a "replica" in the normal usuage and understanding of the word IT IS NOT SINCE IT IS NOT A REPLICA OF A COBRA BECAUSE...AND READ SLOOOWLLLY HERE...IT IS A COBRA!

Some here just read and see what they want to see.

Saltytri: You are clearly lost and didn't follow what was being said and intended in the retorical argument between Ned and myself. Its also clear you don't own a Shelby. Your position is typical and unfortunately predictable for many non Shelby owners.

Oh, I get it alright. More then you think. Moreover, its right there in black and white on the SAAC site.

As far as respect goes, I have no respect for others here who put down what I own and state that I misrepresent what I own because they don't agree the fact the Continuation series is a real Cobra not a "look a like" which they in fact own. You want respect. Give respect. Otherwise Ki$$ My A$$.

I prefer to call a spade a spade and have no interest in false friendships built on the requirement I knock my own car.

If I come off as an a$$.. oh, well, I don't see the Continuation series detractors concerned about the fact that I and other CSX owners see them as coming off as a$$e$...so ask me if a care.

"Not all who wander are lost."

And heaven forbid that I would own a latter day Shelby. I'd much rather own a Latter Day Kirkham (with all due apologies to my good friend, David K.)

NO apologies needed! I'd hate to see you on the other side of the table!

Maybe I'm wrong but this sure sounds like you are talking to yourself.

Sal,

Spoken like a true car enthusiast and not someone out to puff up his ego. I applaud your candor and your honesty.
