I think this in itself is part of the problem, you have only been around "this sport" for a "few months", you have not spent the time to do any research on the subject. If you had done a little research, you would know that Shelby abandoned the Cobra and in several interviews (both in print and now available on video) even praised the replica makers for "keeping the fire burning" (his words circa 1987/1988 interview with Car & Driver or Road & Track reprinted in several sister publications over the years). If you did a little more homework, some a little closer to modern times, you would know a lot more and understand where the rest of us are now coming from.
I'll leave it at that for now, the moral of my post is, before you spout off with an opinion so strong, you are better off to do a lot of research on the subject and not make rash posts based on your extremely limited knowledge on the subject.
Here is wishing you well.
Sincerely,
Bill S.
