In my opinion, once you eliminate the CSX continuation cars and the Kirkham models that use original-type chassis, there really arean't ANY of the kits that are "accurate". Some of the rest have bodies that are close, some have interiors that are close, most at least look like a Cobra from a short distance. But all make concessions to originality in order to lower the price, make them easier to build, handle better than an original, etc.
I'd suggest you attend one of the many Cobra get-togethers advertised on this forum and look at, sit in, ask for rides, etc., in as many different brands as possible to help you narrow down your search. It's not easy. There are just too many variables. But just like choosing a wife, you will know her when you meet her. You just have to try a few out to see what you like.....
