Default Newbie, I know nothing!

I spent the last 6 years enjoying my 1999 550 Maranello. I was the original owner and put 25,000 miles on it, some club track events and hillclimbs, but mostly highway miles. It's now up for sale and I ultimately want a new Ford GT. While I wait for the crazyness to go away on pricing, I want to satisfy my lifelong lust for a Cobra. I intend to keep it a just few years and drive it regularly and go to track events. Then I want to sell it without loosing alot of $$$. I live in the Bay Area so I thought I'd ask you folks for some help. With all the combinations of manufacturers, engines, etc., I really don't know where to begin to figure out what to get. Here's my requirements:
1. California legal
2. Easy to sell- high demand replica brand
3. High demand engine spec.
4. Great handling- as good as a replica gets
It doesn't have to be new, and my price range is not fixed....... What would you buy?
