It's going to burn when you are so stuck on this, and someone asks, "who makes it"?

"kirkham".

or worse...

"superformance".

At least if they ask "is it original", you can get away with a white lie and say "yes, it's original"...and mutter under your breath that it's an original continuation series.

When you get the CSX, you can say that it's a real Shelby.

Anyway, based on your description of how you wish to drive your car, you should really go for a ride in one and decide if it's really something you want as an everyday car. Also, figure out if having a top is actually worth it. If you figure out that it takes a bit of time to put the top on and take it off, plus storage for it, not to mention worrying about scratches, you might not want the top at all. Based on that, you might not even want to consider the Cobra. Maybe something like a viper, or a better "daily" driver, a 911 will fit your needs better.

I like your style and you are correct....I have been there.
