I'm not going to replace my Cobra, but with kids some time in the future I am going to eventually add a pro-touring (comfy suspension and interior/air/heat with efi LSX) 69 camaro. It should be the perfect family car...I guess. It does everything that a new "muscle" car does without the depreciation. And everything the Cobra won't do. So a pro-touring car/hot rod might be a consideration for you.

If you want a cruiser, something that you never have to tinker with and is a comfortable car to drive the majority of the time, a "kit car" is just not the way to go. Instead of a GTM/SLC, just get a Z06. You obviously aren't looking to make a track only car that occasionally drives on the street...more or less you want the complete opposite.

If you want something that still gets a lot of looks, is great fun to drive but not quite as comfortable as the Z06, get a Viper. You trade off what little comfort the Z06 gives you for a lot more looks.

The Porsche 911 996/997/991 will all do the same as the above also. A maserati, older f-car (360), millions of other cars as well.

I say if looks are what you want, along with drive-ability, get a Viper. Comfort can't be your number one concern do to you wanting a GTM, so I imagine that this trade-off is just fine.
