I am nearing the end of what you just are starting. I liked the BDR and the SPF right from the beginning probably because there were more ads influencing me. I was able to lock on a few things of desire to keep it simple. If I did not keep it simple, I would have gone crazy wondering what to do. Soon I narrowed to the SPF probably because of the market influence, nothing about it is a "better" car. I decided I wanted a 427, 17" wheels on a late model (SPO#2000 or higher). There are still way too many choices and I had budget creep. $50k was my budget. Now I hope to get the used Cobra of my dreams in 15 days for $55k plus tax and shipping. I wanted to build, but I kept hearing about guys spending $80k, driving it for less than 2k miles selling it for <$60k! The most common reason for selling the car was because their spouse would not go along with them on a ride. Engauge your spouse in this adventure. Buy the way, the Cobra hunt has been one of the more exciting things I have done with all my clothes on in a long time! Good luck!
