I see this thread going the way the ERA vs SPF thread went.....but I'll put my .02 cents in just for kicks. Besides, I did look at almost every replica out there before making a decision, and got to know the shapes of each pretty well; but I wanted what I considered to be the "best value", not the "best exact replica".
Oh well, here it goes:
In MHO I would say you can only give "10's" to SAI & Kirkham. Why? For obvious reasons.
ERA would get about an 8 or 9
Then, I would throw in SPF as a 7 (but I'm partial to them) although there's a lot of others that are in this same range: Coddington; Contemporary; and Unique to name a few.
The Venom 427 by Shell Valley is supposed to be a nice car as well as the new Pegasus Performance. Backdraft, Premier Motorsports, FFR, Midstates, and Pigeon Performance all have obvious differences from the orig Cobra, but still nice rides.
Heck, all this talk about the diffrerent replica's has me wanting to shop around again!
I won't "rate" the last few vehicle manufactures, I'll leave that up to Evan.
