"best"is a relative term depending on the buyers criteria. Based on those criteria Kirkham could be at the bottom of the list.
What is "overpriced" is determined by the market not by ones self serving demeaning comments. In many cases the "overpriced" barbs and continual put downs help one feel better when the "over priced" item is also out of reach to those casting those comments. That wouldn't be you of course.

It costs a certain amount to produce a car so it's not all profit for the manufactorer, hence a factory 5 cost less than a Kirkham because the parts are not of equal, with a csx to prove my point the cars price as a roller does not equal the mark ups of the other car manufactorors, you quoted my post where I say all cobras are awesome just some charge more, example Honda accord vs a Mercedes 350, same class car, I drive a Honda but its not a Mercedes, the benz costs more because the quality of parts is better, that's not to say an ERA for example is not a great car and priced accordingly, I think you get more for your money buying a Kirkham, it's my opinion, this is an opinion site, right, REAL1 don't put words in my mouth where I have bad mouthed another ones car, even your car is awesome, just in my opinion way overpriced, deal with it...

No, apparently I can't. Not even David himself was able to get through.
Seems this quote is fitting...
"Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we have here..."

David, you and I all have our opinions, what's your point, the OP asked what is the best cobra maker and I stated Kirkham for many reasons, again my opinion how can that be wrong...

Well, clearly, if you want to build your car with or without your family, then an ERA would be the best manufacturer. Or maybe an FFR, depending on budget. Also, if don't have $100,000 +/- then the best manufacturer becomes the one that works within your budget. If you desire to have a Shelby MSO, then Shelby is the best.
And if you want AC, PS, heated seats, stereo, cup holders, quiet exhaust, and a weatherproof top, then a Corvette is best.
The best is obviously very subjective.

Cogent analysis. Deep.
I don't know where to begin. You have out done yourself with this one. So I'll just let it sit here unmolested for all to take in.
No,no,no I certainly wouldn't ever think of putting words in your mouth which would dilute such astute and well reasoned explanation of well..your "opinion".
I just have one question. Does this mean Continuation Cobras would even be more awesomer if they was less money and maybe even awesomer than a Kirkham..?
