i am a fan of craftsmanship and therefore i am opting for an alubody but probably i will not spend a 100 grands extra for another vinplate

I'm also a Porsche owner and I'd have no problem with driving a speedster replica. However, I'd never drive one to a PCA event. Those Porsche owners can be mean.

If you're thinking of an alloy body, then a Kirkham roller is $100,000 and the Shelby roller is $160,000. I think Evan (Real 1) posted somewhere, maybe his for sale ad, that the Shelby alloy roller is $164,000. But it's in that price range.

Everyone has their own price sensitivities and opinion about real/genuine/original/authentic/replica/reproduction/clone/tribute/etc. And whatever you buy, the choice you make will be the best Cobra for you.
