Chris,
You're really not going to find a solid answer, I think it's a matter of personal preference. Take a good look at both cars up close and personal. See which one you like better. Which is more comfortable for you? Which looks better?

I chose FFR because of the bang for the buck. It's a good value and just a ton of fun to drive. Easy to upgrade. The FFR family is just fantastic. The support network is awesome. But from what I've seen of Shell Valley, they are very nice cars too.

I'm not sure where in Pompton Plains is, but there are many owners in PA, NJ, NY. And there are several upcoming Cobra events where you can get a good look at all the cars.
