Incredible machines, both of them! As far as accuracy compared to an original vintage Cobra goes, both are at a level where the only thing they're missing is the fact that they're not manufactured in the 60's. Pedigree wise, comparing them is like comparing an original AC COB# car to an original Shelby CSX# car. The only tangible difference is in the serial number and the badging, but the Shelby carries a premium because it's a Shelby. I can say this with no slight towards the awesome Kirkham product - but in my opinion, Brett's car is probably pretty close to the pinnacle of the replica pile simply due to the nature of its build. The only other car that would compare favourably with these two is the dry sumped 427 comp car manufactured by AC. Has anyone seen one up close?
