You will always have buyers remorse with a BDR or SPE. It's like buying a Porsche Boxster. They are entry level models.
Buy the best, either a Kirkham or CSX. Spend $100K for roller, $35K for engine, add $10K for bling parts. Only then, you will either be a Cobra guy or not.

Personally, I think 99.99999% of us plebs own "entry level" Cobras. If we wanted something a bit more "top shelf," then we'd buy a CSX2000 or 3000 for $1,000,000 +/-.  |

A Kirkham or CSX is just as entry level, you want to play with the big boys buy an original. If it wasn't built in the 60's it's just a replica no matter who makes it. |

No, I'm not talking about trading up. I'm curious. Do you have "buyer's remorse" because you did not buy "the best" (Tesla P85) with the bling and high HP engine? Most of us have budgets and we do the best we can do.  |
