i have to agree with you completely on your statements towards Allan A. I have worked on both original 289 & 427 cobras as well as both aluminum (kirkham & sai) and fiberglass current production (sai) 4000 & 7000 series shelby's. none of the cars has better interior room than the original 289 cobras. the car with the least amount of interior room has to be the 7000 series fiberglass cobras (427 foot boxes & trellis frame). as for the originality of the 7000 series cars versus the originals, other than the aluminum car they don't hold a candle to the originals or the kirkham product (leaf spring chassis). i will admit that both have thier issues as far as the physical appearance but as far as being true to the original the aluminum cars (not the kmp hybrid or billet susp. models) offer the most "original" experience when driving. in my profesional opinion the build quality of the kirkham vs. sai, the kirkhams have always been to a higher standard in thier product! it is up to the individual owner / builder to stay as close to the original in components utilized (brakes, engine, trans, gauges, suspenension components, etc...) or as modified as they want to make the vehicle to suit thier own tastes..............just my opinion.
p.s. Allan A. your going to have to change your line before you get embarrassed:
"CSX 7034 the most accurately detailed Continuation Cobra to original specification since the demise of CSX 4027."
