So many cars id rather have than this. A replica is as-good and they're shit anyway with messed up weight balance.
You're either a troll or a tool. No one posting in this thread could afford this car but anyone with ANY interest in automotive classics, history, or collecting would salivate over this thing. It's not the fastest, nor the coolest, nor the best Shelby (by a long shot) but it is the very first.
If you were to say you'd rather have a replica AC Cobra, I wouldn't bat an eye because while having an original would be cool, the replicas do a good job of recreating the spirit and feel of that car.
THIS car on the other hand could not be done justice by way of replica. It's not as cool as the Cobra. It's not as fancy as most other Shelbys. The draw... the appeal... the essence of this car is that it is the original. It's what started a paradigm shift in American sports cars. It's the absolute foundation of a revered empire.
Like a Picasso or Rembrandt, the car in and of itself might not speak to you. It's what it represents. It's a piece of American automotive history with an amazing story to tell. Meanwhile you look at it an all you see is "shit with messed up weight balance" SMDH
