Advice on Which make & options I should Buy?

[Scaramanga]

Hi
I am planning on buying a cobra by the end of the year & am starting to do my research & was hoping to get some advice from current owners.

currently, I am looking at the Superformance, Kirkham & Shelby continuation

I love the GT coupe & GT40 for their originality & style, but prefer convertibles & why I am looking for the more traditional models like the MkIII etc.

I will go over my "wants" & plans for use- could you please tell me what you would recommend based on your experiences.


1. style & accuracy: I want it to look as authentic as possible- especially the dashboard (detail is very important to me)
2. I will be driving this a a "light" everyday car- I work at home developing apps, so I don't leave the home much, but when I do, I would like to have fun driving.
3. I have no intention on racing- with the exception of taking on the track to experience it's full potential. But I do like to have fun on twisting roads
4. must be able to have a top (demand by wife)
5. I would like to be able to put in a stereo
6. I am 6 foot tall
7. quality & ability to service locally (I live in CA)

Your advice is greatly appreciated
Thanks!
