That's the aluminum replica example, there is a similar comparison for the "glass" replicas.
SPF sells a glass roller for $X
Shelby sells a glass roller for $Y
But the Shelby roller uses a body built at the same factory as SPF and by the same workers under Shelby license. SPF has a "ladder chassis" with excellent torsional stiffness. Shelby comes with a round tube chassis probably not quite as stiff. The remaining "a la carte" add-ons are similar in quality and degree of replication to the original (wheels, gauges etc.), yet the SPF roller is cheaper than the Shelby roller.
