I can tell the differences, but they are definitely subtle in most places.
IMHO, the OP can't tell the difference from what it sounds like so it boils down to driving or investment- which is the important factor here? Heck, if you put a FF5, ERA, and just about any other cobra in with those pictures, 90% of the people who looked at them couldn't tell the difference. The regulars on this forum eat and breathe cobras so the miniscule differences are pretty huge to us. Not so much to the barely initiated masses or new converts to the Cobra hobby.
In the end, if you want to attempt to recoup your investment at some future time buy the Kirkham or Shelby. If you want a driver that will serve you well and you can enjoy without guilt, get the one easiest on your wallet. Many times that will be the Factory Five or similar car.
