So I'm getting close to a point in my life with a good chunk of funds available and a house, garage, and good DD truck under my belt.
I've always wanted to build a unique and performing kit car but between these 3 options, which would you go for?
Option 1: Factory Five Type 65 Coupe
Pros:
I can afford it now/cheaper
It looks pretty darn good
Pretty customizable
Familiar with mustang running gear components
Cons:
I absolutely hate the rear end ice cream scoop
It's nowhere near as "finished/complete" as an RCR
Interior is lacking
Feels and looks.. "cheap" at times
Side exhaust causes some serious extended noise issues in cabin
Option 2: RCR GT40
Pros:
Looks absolutely fantastic!
Interior is excellent (for a kit car)
Much higher quality and finished kit
Exhaust is at the back and no noise issues on extended drives
Cons:
Much more expensive. Probably won't even begin to happen for another 1-2 years
Drivability concerns (This thing is LOW! And hard to see out of. And I'd need half a parking spot on each side to get out)
Mostly unfamiliar components (minus 302/351 engine)
Option 3: Dream Motorcycle
Pros:
Instant gratification
I'll actually posses one "toy"
Cons:
Pushes both kit cars further down the timeline.
Any thoughts? Can't go asking on FFR or RCR without obvious bias. Thanks!
