Not Ranked
I had an owner of a 2008 Mustang at a car show ask me how I could have a Cobra as he was the one who owned a “Cobra” Mustang. I remember going into a Ford dealership back in 2006 and asking to see a Ford GT and the salesmen showed me a Mustang GT. There is a fellow local Backdraft Cobra owner who had a custom show board made with all blue lettering except the second line in red that indicated this was not a “Cobra Kit Car.” It’s hard to believe that a Backdraft is not a “Cobra Kit Car” but a Kirkham is because it can be bought in a kit form, where as a Backdraft is assembled in South Africa on an assembly line. Some type of terminology has to be used to describe what you’re talking about and as with today’s new cars we now have traction control and each manufacturer has a different name to describe it and years from now I’m sure one name will stand out to describe traction control for all the names that exist from the different manufacturers today.
