[REAL 1]

My Spidy senses were tingling and low and behold, yep sure enough.

To the OP. Its not a question of "mine is better than yours". Not at all. It depends what is important to you. Do you want a "Cobra" or a car that just looks like a Cobra, albeit there are very good ones in that class like SPF, ERA, Backdraft etc...

Buy a SAAC Registry and start reading to educate yourself.

If you want a genuine Cobra/Shelby Cobra you have no other choice except a Continuation CSX, Kirkham or an original series, AC according to the Shelby American Automobile Club. It's all in the Shelby American Automobile Club Registry. I happen to agree with them.

As to quality of the various vehicles, yes you should visit various shows, meets, showrooms of SPF dealers, builders etc... There are differences between the cars and difference is quality, aesthetic accuracy, cost etc..

The old adage applies. You get what you pay for.
