David,

Try and contact some of your neighbors in the Deep South Cobra Club and go over to one of their functions and check out the various cars and their manufactures. Ask the owners specific questions and if you're free the weekend of June 20-22 take the wife on a road trip to Columbus, Ohio. The Double Venum event will attract several hundred Cobras representing virtually every manufacturer. Look and compare and then make a decision and stick to it.

Addressing your question on price. The plain and simple truth is some manufacturers make a much better product and they will use top of the line components. However, you may not want (or need) all the upgrades they offer. It all depends on your anticipated use. You can cut some corners but not all of them. You may want to add upgrades yourself later. That is part of the fun in owning a Cobra, there will always be something to change if you want.
