I also like the Unique Replica. The deluxe pallet kit is available in varying stages of the build. This will allow you to be creative and personalize the car but without a welder and a metal fab. shop in your garage. I would love to have a Kirkham but I could not justify the expense. I like the Superformance car but I wanted more of a project for myself. If I were going to build a car to primarily race it would be a FFR. The ERA is probably the closest to the look of the old cobras ( I am not going to say original...it is too much of a pain in the a$$)
I will only mention these because they are what I looked at and drove on the way to my own decision.

Some people buy a complete car and drive away. They are not an capital building asset so you will save movey on a used car if you shop around.

Some kits are a much larger project then they appear on the surface and either never get completed or you have more $$ in them when your done than a Kirkham and they are worth .10 on the dollar.

Good luck to you
