Not Ranked
Some things to consider: Cars like Kirkham, ERA, Contemporary (no longer produced), Unique and Shelby are much like the original car, which is a beast. The newer cars, like SPF, Backdraft, FFR, and some others tend to be more modern and refined, and may look like a Cobra on steroids. They are very fast, and many have Roush small blocks or the like. There are also some Cobras that are somewhere in between. If you want a car that is close to original in looks and performance, you gotta pick one of the top five. They look original. If you can live with less than that, one of the others may be your ideal Cobra (and for less money). It's all about what YOU want.
Either way, you should visit a few manufacturers, as many as possible. It will pay off in the long run. What you don't want is to buy or build a car that you wish you didn't. Spend the most that you can afford and don't settle for less than what you really want. Good luck.
