I can't speak for the era but the ccx has plenty of pros
pro's
round tube frame similar to the original
full e type suspension and steering not mustang two or gm
most all of the parts used are period correct
shape near perfect, ass a tad high
excellent ride quality
fit and finish and good body stiffness
most have 427 side oilers and top loaders
with some effort the ccx can be turned into an excellent replica

con's
when you copy copy right, ccx's have some odd engineering
hung pedals
upside down door handles
straight up radiator
trans tunnel wrong shape
wiper motor in the wrong spot
etc etc
these are little things but when you are looking for a copy of a ac cobra
you want a copy of an ac cobra not some guys attempt of a copy.
These cons are small items and don't effect the way the car performs
but when you have a trained eye ( and you start to learn the difference betwwen cobra kits) its hard to settle for an average copy.
In comparison to a superformance the ccx drives near identical. The superformance has lighter steering.
