this one impressed me as the best one out there

There really is no answer to the question "what is the best replica, since we all have our own definitions of what qualifies as "best." To me, originality is a big factor (although I'm not anal about it - I wouldn't insist on RHD, and A/C is acceptable to me in a street car, though a stereo system is not), and the GT40NA car is pretty much at the bottom of that list. It's more in a class with the Superformance Coupe - a modernized interpretation of a historic vehicle. An evolution, perhaps, but not to me a great replica.
