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.....

Actually Doug, there a couple companies that come to mind building accurate replicas. Sagebrush and Roger Bolick's carbon fiber cars are both very accurate inside and out.
