Some of it is "percieved" value, but in many cases some of it is in real value or beneifts or features! Some Cobras are SO different than others even if their "equally" equiped you can't compare them!
Assuming both cars were nearly identical in options, add the additional criteria: identical in deminsions. Now it's a new ball game!
A Stallion West Coast Cobra long wheel base/wider/heavier car "equally" equiped and compared to a Classic Roadster would be a fair comparison of "value". But either of these two compared to an ERA or an SPF is impossible because of the fundamental differences in body style!
A JBL is also a little longer. Could we then be compare it to a West Coast or a Classic Roadster car long wheel base car? CANNOT! The fundamental chassis design of the JBL is TOTALLY different than either the West Coast or the C.R. (or anything as far as that goes)!
So the cars to compare can't just be "equally equiped", they ALSO need to be competing for the same basic market "niche". The BIG attraction to FFR is price, plain and simple! The BIG attraction for the Kirkham is "true to original design". IMPOSSIBLE to compare these two cars even with the SAME dimensions!
Of the CURRENTLY AVAILABLE CARS ON THE MARKET TODAY:
Kirkham vs Shelby? OK, thats fair!
ERA vs SPF? Yeah, that will work!
FFR vs ?? Help me out here guys,,,,what would be "fair"? NO FLAMES, it's a serious question!
Hunter vs Back Draft? One uses Chevy IRS, the other BMW IRS! That might be "fair"!
Classic Roadster vs West Coast?
Add some more comparisons, now I'm curious.
