fiberglass vs Aluminum- from what I've seen, the aluminum adds about 25K to the price & is actually more fragile than the fibergalss- please let me know f you have experienced differently.

If you're looking for the most authentic fiberglass replica, by most people's standards, then purchase a Shelby CSX. 2nd place goes to ERA. 3rd place to SPF. All good cars.
As for aluminum being "fragile" or brittle, then you've never owned a Corvette.
For me, in terms of maintenance and strength, it's essentially "six of one, half-dozen of the other."
It's still a budget question.
