Not Ranked
FYI: I HAD to have a stage build. Even if it cost a bit more over the 3 years of assembly, I wanted to move slow, methodical, and tweak everything for best track-day performance. Like your West Coast vs. Lone Star comparison, I looked at E-Morrison vs. Lone Star. Both have a stage build program that F5 and Hurricane do not. In fact, Hurricane laughed in my face when I inquired about a very stripped down frame&body-only kit. They must make profit on the accessories--tank, pipes,seats,steering,pedals, etc. That's stuff that I already had. F5 would not depart from the mass produced packages they sell.
There were a few other factors in my consideration of a Cobra stage-build, and Lone Star had it down to perfection.
You will find the Lone Star very adaptable to whatever you personally want. Slow build, 7-day build, modified parts (extra mounting holes drilled while still on the jig), etc. And Lone Stars do NOT all have the high riding 4-wheeler gaps in all of the fender wells. See John Ross, Randy J., or any of the shop cars Brian has built--these have the sweet "tucked and lowered" look that rocks!
Randy J. is one of the most meticulous builders I've ever met. He knows how to get it done and get it right without any delay. Listen to him.

Paul
