That's pretty hard to argue with. You're not going to get there for that price with the cars I named above -- with the exception of the FFR. The older FFR cars look a little different than the classic "perfect" Cobra look of the Kirkham/ERA/CSX cars (and Contemporary, too, maybe some others as well), but I actually like the look quite a bit -- there is a newer FFR look that is supposedly quite accurate, but I have not seen it with my own two eyes. You can easily build one heckuva FFR car for something that starts with a "3" and it will look beautiful and run rings around just about everything on the street (including my ERA with the mild FE).
