How about:
colored gel coat instead of nice paint
bolt-on wheels vs. knock off wheels
vinyl vs. leather
correct dash layout with Smith's gauges vs. random dash w/ VDO
IRS vs. solid rear end
4 wheel disks vs. drum in the rear
ceramic coated headers vs. peeling and rusty paint


THE OVERALL LEVEL OF DETAIL CARRIED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CAR

All the little things add up, and you just aren't going to get as far with half the budget. I worked in a cobra shop with all levels of cobras in it, and trust me, people know the difference, they might not be able to put their thumb on every difference, but they do see the differences.
