I think a lot is going to depend on what you can actually afford. There are plenty of FFR's out there in the mid-twenty's, but if you can spend 40-50K you'll have a lot of options. There's a beautiful High Tech in the for sale section here that's very reasonable if you got the bucks. We have an FFR that we bought built & paid 27K for it & are very happy with the car. The builder probably spent 35-37K putting it together so we really got our moneys worth. Look in the for sale section here, Ebay, FFCobra.com, and maybe even Cobra Country.com - though the prices are often inflated there.

Not knowing your location, but attending shows which feature kit cars such as Carlisle PA on May-16-18

Carlisle Events - Import-Kit/Replicar Nationals - Home

would give you a good cross section on the various manufacturers. In addition, you would be able to talk in person with the representatives and owners, see for yourself the models, kit or turnkey, that would fit your needs , desires, budget, etc. To me, well worth the time to look at as many alternatives as possible.

I agree with all of the previous posts on this subject. It is best to go to some events (London Cobra Show, Run & Gun, etc...) and many guys will give you a ride or possibly let you drive one. I went to D&M (or is it D&S) Motorsports outside Chicago with the WCCC (Windy City Cobra Club) last fall. They sell Superformance and was offered to drive a "used" Superformance Cobra. Want a great car. The best part was talking to all the guys in the club. Saw at least four or five different manufacturers in the club that day. I ended up buying a FFR Cobra with 3200 miles and love it also. Is there a club in your area? If yes then join it BEFORE you buy the Cobra. One guy in the WCCC did not own a Cobra for quite a while, I have been told, but now has one.

If you want to see some photos and a describtion of mine please send a PM to me with your e-mail. Good luck and enjoy the MADNESS. This site will make you crazy and help you spend $$$$$$$
