I was at Carlisle a few weeks ago and there's no doubt that SPF has the most refined coupe out there - bar none. Yes, there are other vendors who make racing versions that are impressive, but the SPF is the most comfortable and streetable of them all. The exterioir is not exactly correct to the originals, but very nice. Now the big issue - price. 90K is a lot of coin for a car that has limited appeal. I love them, but most people "on the street" have no idea what a Shelby Daytona coupe is. Ask around your office... This severely limits the resale opportunity. And like Luke said - thin air my friend. the new Z06 'vette would probably spank this car and you can still drive it to work without causing a stir. It also probably depreciates faster!
But this is why I favor the less expensive coupes as a "toy" car. From a % loss standpoint, if you ever decide to sell, you'll mitigate the money you stand to possibly lose.

Just my $.10 :-)
