Al, I had a Kirkham, it was a beautiful car. I now own a Shelby. Do I miss the KMP? Sure. It was a work of art. Would I own one again someday? Sure. It's a nicely built car. Is it what I really wanted? No. That's why I own a Shelby. I even tried to convince myself while I owned the Kirkham that I didn't need or want the Shelby. In the end, I was fooling myself. I sold the Kirkham and bought a Shelby. Am I happy with my decision? Yes. Because I have the car I wanted.

Do I think one is better than the other? Hard to say. Both cars are of equal build quality and construction. Sure, the Kirkhams improve their car as time goes on, but don't think that those changes put the Kirkham on some higher level than the Shelby. The Kirkhams "changes" revolve around them being able to make more parts in house, as opposed to "let's re-engineer the car". With every new part they make in house, they definitely try to improve where improvement allows. They have not changed anything on their car that makes it significantly better than a Shelby.

Don't let anyone fool you. Both cars are quality cars, on the same level. Both cars will perform out of the box, and both cars can be improved even better for a higher level of performance.

You need to look inside and really figure out what you want in a Cobra. And then buy that car.
