That is why the " best " depends...has to be defined by each of us....absolutely none of those things are important to me.
They might be important or even valuable for example for resale, but I intend to leave mine to one of my grandsons..... He is such a considerate boy, he keeps asking about my health.

SAI "might" be as good as a Kirkham, certainly no better, but at double the cost. Given that, it would be one costly brain fart to go with SAI when you have the Kirkham option, ergo Kirkham trumps SAI for "best" in the aluminum body category.

To some people. Exactly right.
The problem is you guys spend more time typing then reading what I've said.

Well, when you stop repeating the same phrases that you have used for the last decade, then maybe we'll listen. Who can blame us?

For me the best Cobra was one that had Shelby in the name. I also wanted one that was as true as possible to the original design. Since I couldn't afford an original I bought a continuation car. Aluminum was also beyond my budget so I went with fiberglass. I know I paid a premium but the name and design were important to me. I have no regrets and would it again.

But if this part were really true... then why did you put a 468 Aluminium block in it? 
Don't worry, it's rhetorical... I know exactly why

As we can see there are any number of measures for the best. I like mine best and you like yours best. But for a more objective view we need to look elsewhere.
There's these guys that made one once that I thought showed they were pretty good at building cars. If you want a Cobra, they have some decent capabilities as shown in this thread (below). If I had some real folding money, I'd give them a call.

The only real Cobra is a Snake that can bite you and then you die, everything else are just little cars that look alike ...some built better than others. Get real they're all fun and go fast. It's just bragging rights and how much money your willing to spend, bottom line if it makes you happy ...it's the Best Cobra.
Peanuts, Popcorn, Crackerjacks....step right up and get yours.

What if bragging rights and money make you happy, then what?
