Now, back to the OP's original question.
In terms of Cobra replicas, "best" means TO ME that a Cobra must be:
1. aluminum bodied,
2. reasonably accurate to the 1960's original (originals were aluminum too),
3. built by a customer and engineering focused manufacturer, who truly desires to make their product better every day,
4. sold only by the manufacturer w/o middlemen, and
5. finished in the USA, in one location (UT) by the same people, since their 1994 beginning (i.e., product consistency).
What does "best" mean to you?

Long Answer:
1. A reasonable facsimile of the original, doesn't have to be exact/real close.
2. Designed from the ground up to be serious track competitor, but with equally pleasant street manners.
3. Built with the highest quality of materials to uncompromising standards and workmanship.
4. Look awesome and intimidating.
