These things are all about getting a good quality build and max bang for your buck,
About 20 years ago the sight of a replica Cobra or GT40 would stop car-heads in their tracks.
Now, thanks to the success of DRB, RMC, G-Force and others, the shock value has diminished and values are stable.
Older Cobras at $45-50,000 still offer lots of fun and a decent challenge on a circuit.
Recently built, small-block cars are more comfortable and less demanding on the driver than 20-year-old examples and you can pay up to $70,000 for a high quality car.
Top of the heap are the Robnell Cobras and theyre available on the used market for $80,000 plus.
Brand new GT40s from DRB or Roaring 40s can exceed $150,000 new or with minimal kilometres for $100,000.
