88 gt mustang making a 10.8 quartermile pass - YouTube

Pulled the old motor out of my mustang, it'll be backed by an astro T-5. I'm thinking it'll do pretty well in a car that weighs almost 1000 pounds lighter.

I really like the base kit idea and making the rest of the car the way you want it. I don't car much about originality. I've have never even seen an original cobra. I have seen a few very convincing kit cars though

After evaluating the other suggestions, in addition:

* Visit the manufacture's location of your choice(s). An extra expense but worth the time and money.

* Attend the Carlisle PA Kit Car Nationals, multiple manufacturers will be there with demos, good opportunity for side by side comparisons.

Just to correct a post above, Hurricane is definetly not out of business. There are new owners that made many improvements on what was already a great car.
I built a Hurricane and love it. Great build and great service. I also have a friend building a FF5 Mk IV and it is very impressive as well.
But I would have to agree that the ERA is probably tops in terms of accuracy.

You just answered your question yourself.

Hurricane Motorsports is actively building and delivering kits and has been in production since January of 2010 in Lake City, Iowa. There have been several improvments made to the car and the Hurricane is even better. You can see more details at Hurricane Motorsports - 427 Roadsters and check out our forum there. You can PM me for details or with questions and I can email you photos of a completed Hurricane 427 Street Car.
