We never get tired of answering these questions Steve!We all live to talk Cobras.The new Shelby "roller" is made by CAV,to the same high standards,and there are some pictures of it in the archives at this site.No question about it's race credentials!The ERA,SPF,Unique,and the new CAV Shelby are probably at what would be considered the "upper middle class" of replicas in my opinion,and based on my observation.They have very consistent build quality,because much of the build is done at the factory.This tends to help resale,because the buyer pretty much knows what he is buying.If you want to race,the Factory Five is a great way to go because they can be built to around 2000#,fairly inexpensively and the quality is high.You are about to embark on one of the most enjoyable experiences of you life,in your search because there is so much good stuff.It all boils down to what you want to do with your ride.Hope to hear from you alot at CC..Gary
