Both are really nice cars from good manufacturers from what I have both seen and drove. The biggest thing I noticed was a substantial temp increase in the within the footwell of aluminum, but I am certain that can be compensated for some how. There is an owner of both an aluminum F5 and a Lonestar (fibreglass) and driving it, you feel a substantial increase in temp and footwell size. I do not know what the difference in footwell size is between a F5 and a Hurricane. If you are big guy with a pretty good foot size, you will need to know this too. There are pros and cons to each, but the best thing you can do is get in one, put your feet on the pedals, and pull yourself out. Footwell was a major consideration for me after seeing some people literally pull them selves (or fall out) of their car after long rides.

They are both excellent cars.
