My $.02,

I believe it all has to do with how much love, time and money you are willing to put into these cars. How much of a perfectionist you are, all the kits are great considering the person that is building it. I chose a EM for the chassis design and body design. Everyone that has seen my car has loved it. Again, I have been working on my car for 5 yrs at my own pace and enjoying the build. With that being said, I was able to eliminate the dollar fact involve in my build. I have used nothing but the best and have not cut any corners. This is were the love and perfection comes in to play. I felt that with the factory five I would have to replace the bushings, suspension componets, gas tank, and other donor items because they had wear -n- tear on them and would not meet my standards. I did not like the idea of using mustang pedals ( I wanted custom chrome pedals)

If you are looking to have a fast build and enjoy the car for what it is I would recommend buy a completed car. But if you are in it for the build and fun then it would depend on how envolved you would want to be.
